pretty-format-json fails with '--indent' argument

See original GitHub issue

# .pre-commit-config.yaml
...
    -   id: pretty-format-json
        args:
        - --indent 4
        - --autofix
        - --no-sort-keys
...

# Error:

Pretty format JSON.................................................................Failed
hookid: pretty-format-json

usage: pretty-format-json [-h] [--autofix] [--indent INDENT] [--no-sort-keys]
                          [filenames [filenames ...]]
pretty-format-json: error: unrecognized arguments: package.json composer.json

Setting the argument to adjust the indentation level causes the script to break. Formatting of the argument doesn’t seem to matter (E.g. ‘4’, “4”, 4). The only way to get it to work is to remove the argument.

It would be handy to add it to the README. The Indent flag isn’t even mentioned.
