I'm guessing I'm not answering the real question, Yakov, for I recognize you

else may be waiting on it even though it falls short of what you wanted. This
particular trick has solved all my problems in juggling two separate tab
formats at my workplace:
/* vim: tabstop=3:shiftwidth=3:noexpandtab
*/
This is what I put in the files I want entabbed at 3 with tabs instead of
spaces, not the normal format of files for the rest of my development group.
Also, I found I had to put the statement across two lines like that or Vim
wouldn't take it. I don't remember why, just that this is what I ended up
with.

The reason why you have to put the statement across two lines is because
you're using the first form of modelines that does not allow any text to
come after the options. See ":help modeline".
Based on your example, here is the second form:
/* vim: set tabstop=3 shiftwidth=3 noexpandtab: */
Hope this helps.
