I don't see a way to avoid using a zero shiftwidth breaking scripts that
use the value of shiftwidth.
We could make &sw return the effective value, but that smells like a
hack. And it would require a way to get the real value, for where the
value is saved and restored.
Using a function to get the effective value of shiftwidth seems like the
best long term solution. It does require changing all the scripts that
now use &sw.
