My concern is that the default tab width, as displayed by most
terminals/terminal emulators, is 8 characters.  If you just do
"more src/afs/afs_vcache.c", or cat, you end up with code that
doesn't look right (if we use -ts4).  I don't think we should
use -i8/-ts8, because deeply-nested loops become very difficult
to read, squished on the right side (we even get some of this
with the current indentation, which is something like -i4).
