Of course this breaks down as soon as you have indentation relative to
a point that's not the first non-tab on the line.  E.g

        foobarfun(arg1,
                 arg2);

In order for this to correctly react to changes in tab-width, you have to
make sure that it's represented as

[TAB]foobarfun(arg1,
[TAB][.spaces.]arg2);
