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);
