Then I really don't understand why you think it's a good start.  I
think it's a step in the wrong direction, because it will make things
worse than they are now: what we have now makes sure the initial
whitespace changes in sync on all lines of the buffer, so that the
first non-whitespace characters on each line stay aligned.
