Hello, Basil.

Sorry I missed this post when you posted it at the end of April.

The issue goes back to 2006.  ;-)

More to the point, we no longer have knr declarations.

Seeing as how we don't have knr declarations any more, it seems senseless
now to indent with the CC Mode syntactic symbol knr-argdecl-intro, i.e.
5.  Instead c-basic-offset (2) seems right.

How about the following patch?

That's good.
