I've brought this up before, but I think there's value in SRC blocks /not/
being indented, and in fact, I would love it if there were a way to make
the contents of the SRC blocks /not/ be indented (as opposed to the default
2 space offset).   Whitespace often matters, particularly when working with
Python, and every now and then I find myself having to manually delete the
extra spacing when pasting code into the Python interpreter.  Other times I
want to paste code snippets from SRC blocks into source files -- again,
indentation gets in the way.  I agree that it's aesthetically appealing,
but my workflow would be easier without it.
