Beg pardon for the misinformation, folks. I had not used
Vim to program in tabs+spaces mode in a long time, and now I
see that I cannot make it respect my indentation and
alignment with any standard settings.

The correct action for indent/unindent should affect the
initial tab on the line, leaving intact whatever spaces may
occur furher to the right. Vim's < and > do not seem able to
do that by default. I don't understand why `preserveindent'
adds tabs /after/ my spaces, and wish Vim would support this
simply and natural indentation mechanism without custom
scripting.
