Bring up help when trying to indent on a fresh install

[chrisdone]

Because there's no default indentation mode (kinda weird but), it'd be nice to bring up the documentation for the indentation modes when the user first tries to indent.

I popped some docs based on the existing docs with a bit more help, into the docstring of an Elisp variable, then based on that you can bring up the describe-variable buffer by default.

Seems like it's helpful to the newbies to Emacs and even the advanced users wouldn't mind. :-)

I can only make one merge request at a time so here's a ticket with some commit references.

Fyi, you can make more than one pull requests at a time if you use separate "feature branches" for each pull-req...

Btw, the documentation style doesn't seem to be inline with the conventions for "customize"-documentation. That kind of explainations would better fit into the info manual (which we need anyway). Don't get me wrong: I'm all for more documentation from within Emacs... It's just that it can be done even better :-)

Oh, I didn't even think of that.

and another thing noteworthy: the pull-req is associated with the branch, even after your pull-request was submitted. This means that if you modify the branch you pull-requested, then the pull-request gets updated as well... that's why it's a good idea to use separate branches than master for pull-requests anyway, so you don't affect the pull-request by accident...

I thought the response would be immediate, didn't even think about topic branches. Nevermind. I have far too many small changes to be sticking in separate branches and waiting for people to respond. I'll try to think of another way to approach this.
