We could issue a fuzzy declaration such as, "Indent case blocks, except in
situations where an unreasonable amount of code would end up so-indented,
causing readability problems".

Two examples of situations where indenting case blocks would cause
readability problems are the JavaScriptCore interpreter and, to a lesser
extent, the JavaScriptCore JIT. All of Interpreter.cpp would suddenly be
indented by an extra 4 spaces, sucking up valuable horizontal real estate.
