Hello.
Current coding standard requires 2 space indent on switch/case indent. I would like to propose to change it to 4 space and close #1547 as "wontfix".

Basically I speak about this patch:
```
diff --git a/docs/pdds/pdd07_codingstd.pod b/docs/pdds/pdd07_codingstd.pod
index 8741a1b..52dc866 100644
--- a/docs/pdds/pdd07_codingstd.pod
+++ b/docs/pdds/pdd07_codingstd.pod
@@ -110,11 +110,6 @@ the level of indenting to increase.

=item *

-Labels (including case labels) must be outdented two columns relative to the
-code they label.
-
-=item *
-
Closing braces for control structures must line up vertically with the
start of the control structures; e.g. C<}> that closes an C must
line up with the C.
```

Or at least change "including" to "excluding".
