Many filetypes use &sw in their indent files. Most prominent among
these is the vim indent file itself.
If you use the new feature that allows sw to be 0 (causing it to fall
back to tabstop) then indentation in all of these filetypes breaks.
According to a simple grep, the following filetypes are affected:

I haven't updated my usr/local/share/vim/vim73 files since adding in
this patch, are there updated vimfiles that I should be using? If not,
is there a plan to update these indent files?
If not, is there a way to make the change less breaking? It seems like
there should be a "indent_level()" function of some sort for indenters
to use now that &sw can no longer be trusted.
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.
Name suggestions:
shiftwidth()
indentunit()
