Well, technically "indent" is only about the spacing to the margin.
Beautifiers (also known as prettifiers or formatters) do more than that,
they also handle the spacing elsewhere, transform into idiomatic syntax,
etc.

I'm not sure which is better.  I like "code formatter".

I know 3 C-oriented code formatters:

- GNU indent (already in Guix)
- Astyle (already in Guix)
- Uncrustify

Probably not, this was a copy-paste from the homepage.  Sorry for the
lazy move :p

Will do!
