Afaik it can be made to indent with tabs, and I use my tab key to get
indentation, but I agree, not quite the same thing.
:set shiftwidth=4 does make it line up properly, but still leaves the
question of how to turn it off together. Neither shiftwidth=0 nor
noshiftwidth work.
I suppose it's a vim bug, but I havn't reported it for fear of getting
told to RTFM.
