 path originally passed into the function.
 
+## Indentation
+
+To preserve indentation when the file is saved back to disk, use
+`data[Symbol.for('indent')]` as the third argument to `JSON.stringify`, and
+if you want to preserve windows `\r\n` newlines, replace the `\n` chars in
+the string with `data[Symbol.for('newline')]`.
+
+For example:
+
+```js
+const data = await readPackageJsonFast('./package.json')
+const indent = Symbol.for('indent')
+const newline = Symbol.for('newline')
+// .. do some stuff to the data ..
+const string = JSON.stringify(data, null, data[indent]) + '\n'
+const eolFixed = data[newline] === '\n' ? string
+  : string.replace(/\n/g, data[newline])
+await writeFile('./package.json', eolFixed)
+```
+
+Indentation is determined by looking at the whitespace between the initial
+`{` and the first `"` that follows it.  If you have lots of weird
+inconsistent indentation, then it won't track that or give you any way to
+preserve it.  Whether this is a bug or a feature is debatable ;)
