at any TAB setting. This patch changes it so that it displays

Any tab setting other than 8 is incorrect and should not be used for
Linux code. If I view it in a proportionally-spaced font,=20
it's not going to line up right either. Fix your editor, if that's an

issue for you.

Personally I don't even attempt to line up argumants on
continuation lines - it just wastes vertical space.
I just indent them as any other continuation line, so
double-indent if using 4-char indents and 1/2 indent for
8-char indents.

Tabs have to be assumed to be 8 columns, otherwise all sorts
of tools just get it wrong.
(Or you ban tabs from source files.)
