I believe a :set tabstop=2 will make it look weird. But really,
this whole formatting thing is a non-issue for me personally
once I discovered what the problem was. I'm not sure this
file attracts nearly enough eyes to warrant an eager
formatting attempt as I was previously preaching for.

Nick and I using vim with special tab handling are most definitely
the exception and for most folks this file probably looks fine.
