Sure. But the lines you modified with your patches were not restricting 
this freedom in any way. It was possible to change tab stop width 
without breaking the indentation...

The indentation I used is what GNU indent defines as 
"continue-at-parentheses" (tabs at the beginning of a line until 
reaching the code block, then shift it with some spaces to get the 
proper alignment).

My question about coding rules was targeted at Judd.
I don't have any strong opinion about this topic.
