Reading the help for :left, it says:
Sets the indent in the lines to [indent] (default 0).
However, it seems to do that indenting with N spaces rather than
respecting 'shiftwidth' and 'expandtab' settings.

Is there a way to get the indent-count parameter of `:left` to behave
like using the > motion (which respects 'shiftwidth' and 'expandtab')?

brought to my attention by this Reddit thread:

It took me a while to figure out what the question was, but I think you could something like this:
V<motions>:left N | *retab!
You'll probably have to adjust N above if you want to use tabs (so 3 indents with tab stops of 8 would be 24; I'm not sure if tabstop or softtabstop is what matters here).
