+The current indenter (which exists but is undocumented) is a kludge that has an
+indentation object, with implicit placeholder calls added at each line to
+generate the indentation, and #silent calls to adjust the object.  It should be
+reimplemented to generate code to call the indentation object directly.  Also,
+the user interface should be cleaned up, the implementation and Users' Guide
 synchronized, and test cases built.
 
 The desired implementation revolves around self._indenter, which knows the
 current indentation level (a non-negative integer), chars (the string output
 per level, default four spaces), and stack (the previous indentation levels).
 The .indent() method returns the indentation string currently appropriate.

 There should be one indentation object per Template instance, shared by
 methods and include files.
