>Description:
Program indent(1) is handy with the C code and a hit with the ladies.
However, it produces code which will not fit on my punch-cards if tab
expansion is performed in any way.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ echo 'main () { i am a contrived sentence designed to fool the vexing mr. indent am i not clever } ' > /tmp/foo
$ indent /tmp/foo /tmp/bar
$ cat /tmp/bar
main()
{
        i am a contrived sentence designed to fool the vexing mr.indent am i not clever
}
$ od -c /tmp/bar
0000000    m   a   i   n   (   )  \n   {  \n  \t   i       a   m       a

>Fix:
One fix would add a switch to make the column-counter aware of horizontal
position, implicitly assuming some value for the tab stops.  Sigh.
