I don't indent with 8 spaces! I indent with tab's now! There's just the
problem with parameters which break to a new line (when indenting with
tabulators), this obviously not only in the function header but also
in the code, say after the normal indent level f.ex.

for() {
        for() {
                if (a very long parameterlist && function(with more then one,
                                                          parameter)
                ^from here we need spaces
                {
                }
        }
}

I know this is annoying, but IMO this is the cleanest solution and we then
can view and print sourcecode with whatever tab-width we give. I understand
we cannot do this now for all files, but we could keep it as a general rule
(a pitty emacs indent-mode cannot handle stuff like this automatically)

But I was there and I saw what you did,
I saw it with my own two eyes.
So you can wipe off that grin;
I know where you've been--
It's all been a pack of lies!
