I am reminded of Linus Torvalds comments on this subject (see
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/CodingStyle):
Now, some people will claim that having 8-character indentations
makes the code move too far to the right, and makes it hard to read
on a 80-character terminal screen. The answer to that is that if
you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway,
and should fix your program.
