Thanks for the confirmation.

Now the question becomes: Do we want to "fix" this? It seems a little
crazy to me that stata-mode relies on R's indentation engine. We could
just let stata-mode use Emacs's default indent-line-function (which is
indent-relative) and add a note about this in the NEWS.

What do yall think?
