What's the point of the indent parameter? Can't we just add a left offset with padding?

@Composable 
fun Divider(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier.None, 
    color: Color = MaterialTheme.colors().surface, 
    height: Dp = 1.dp, 
    indent: Dp = 0.dp
): Unit

We actually just discussed this. The indent parameter can be emulated with a LayoutPadding(left=…) , but in this case Divider is a specific component in the Material spec that is being implemented, where indent is specifically a parameter that the spec allows you to change, as such, we consider it as “part of the component itself”.

However, we are going to rename it to startIndent so that will be a little bit more clear that it is asymmetric
