You are right, my shameless plug doesn't even solve the original problem :)

However, the fact remains that *should* someone want to write an extension
that handles this the right way, it would be much much easier than for

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
