Many, many moons ago someone 'fixed' the copy of vi we were
using so that ^D went out a tabstop instead of a shiftwidth!
Apparantly he was trying to do 4 char indents by 'set ts=4'
and indenting using 'tab' - instead of 'set sw=4' and indenting
using ^I :-(

Another company I might have worked for enforces the braindead
layout where ALL {} are indented with the code they bracket.
Especially annoying because it included those for functions
- so [[ and ]] don't work.

(Personally I prefer K&R placement of {} - and have since
before I wrote any C.)
