 This shows too little context from the original manpage.  Reading both the
 preceding paragraph and the one that follows the displayed material we see:
 
 %    A common mistake that often causes grief is typing:
 %
 %          indent *.c
 %
 %    to the shell in an attempt to indent all the C programs in a
 %    directory.  This is probably a bug, not a feature.
 
 If you read both these paragraphs as one sentence, it probably
 makes more sense.  I agree it looks a bit confusing though.
 
 We can probably rewrite this part as:
 
 %   A common mistake is to try to indent all the C programs in a
 %   directory by typing:
 %
 %         indent *.c
 %
 %   This is probably a bug, not a feature.
