John said in Mathematica the function InputForm prints something in a form that could be given as input. In this case printing a string in the definition of indent could be done with such a function.

Write a function called InputForm (as in Mathematica) for printing strings with quotes and escaped characters

Apart from quotes inside strings it works.
I don't think it is very useful, but because of that I cannot consider this issue quite complete.
The needed work for fixing this case is not trivial, so I make a new issue for InputForm (#274), and close this one.
