	Oh - we used to produce _excessively_ huge & ugly code from orbit-idl,
but what's there now should be much smaller & neater. Hence we used to
(still do?) fork indent & pipe the data through that to make it look
nicer. I'd like to stop that process happening / hack that code out,
it's just a source of problems / errors I think.

	FWIW,
