I cannot see how to achieve the result I want by tweaking my .emacs.  What
I want is this:

o - with electric-indent-mode enabled.
o - with ?\n a member of electric-indent-chars.
o - `newline-and-indent' will indent both the current line and the new line.
o - `newline' will indent only the current line

Comments?
