Indents despite org-src-preserve-indentation

[lafrenierejm]

The help text for org-edit-src-content-indentation states, "[org-edit-src-content-indentation] has no effect if org-src-preserve-indentation is non-nil." However, the value of :indent-offset in define-auto-innermode does not take into account the value of org-src-preserve-indentation.

Any easy workaround for users is to set org-edit-src-content-indentation to 0. Alternatively, if the argument to :indent-offset can be a quoted function, one could easily be defined to respect both values.

What's the problem more concretely?

org-edit-src-content-indentation is used only as a default value of body-indent-offset which is not intended to respect that variable semantics. I had to pick the default from somewhere and that variable seemed the most appropriated place to sniff it from.

The question is whether it's feasible to use a function as the value of body-indent-offset. On reconsideration, though, I don't know if that would provide any tangible benefits over just more clearly documenting that org-src-preserve-indentation is ignored.
