Actually, lots of good things come out of the vi vs. emacs discussions
once they get down to the nitty-gritty.

Works great, thanks!  You do have to remember to shift left *before*
deleting the braces and to put your new outside loop code and braces
one shiftwidth to the left because the right shift will take those
lines along with the inner code.

I'll probably continue to use cb for larger changes, though, because
it will do many levels at once and I can tell at a glance afterwards
if there are mismatched braces anywhere.
