Sure, but the problem just is: they do not align for different
tabwidth's, so the emacs/vi-mode is not going to help much in
that respect.  We either have to do it with only a space
before the \, or all use a tabwidth of 4 as recommended by
drobbins.

Ill rather go for the space before the \ then, no offence to
the 4 tabwidth guys ;)
