I tried that (actually I have a custom tab-stop list in my .emacs, but I
tried this too) and it didn't work.  It doesn't indent at /all/ on lines
that follow lines that do not start with whitespace, and on lines that
start with whitespace, it will indent on the next line to the column of
the first non-whitespace character on the previous line.  It doesn't
really make any sense to me, and while I *can* work like that, I don't
particularly enjoy it...
