That doesn't actually help in all cases.

If you have inline comments on lines with different indentation, they
will still align differently depending on the expansion size of the
initial tabs on each line.

I think the main problem is that the coding guidelines specify a hard tab
size of 4, but many people (myself included) set hard tabs at the default
of 8. I would prefer indent options of "-i4 -ts8", which translate into
vim options of "sw=4 sts=4 ts=8".
