No problem -- it's non-trivial, so it's certainly a good/worthwhile
question for the list.

It sounds like you're looking for the 'showbreak' option. While it's
not perfect and doesn't work so well for more than one tab-stop worth
of indentation, you can do something like

:let &showbreak=repeat(' ', &ts)

which will display (rather than insert) extra &tabstop number of
spaces at the front of wrapped lines. It will break if you have more
than one tab, or if the page-number exceeds the width of a tab.
