Hi,

With emacs -Q, and this text in *scratch*:

(
 progn
 )

and the point anywhere on the last line, pressing "C-i" will produce this
indentation:

(
 progn
  )

So one extra space is being inserted before the closing paren.

regards,
Oleh

Looks intentional to me. `progn' usually has some arguments. Add at
least one and see that the closing paren lines up to it just fine.

Hmm. Looks like a bug in `indent-sexp' to me.

Indeed, there are some discrepancies in Elisp between indent-region and
indent-line.  We should fix them by scrapping the indent-region code,
I think (tho this requires improving the generic indent-region code so
that it can also do the "indent-comment" thingy that Elisp's
indent-region does).
