2 levels in addition to the 80 characters on the terminal under the
assumption that editors can scroll to the right, making an 80 characters
screen visible with little loss on the left end.
In short, 8-char indents make things easier to read, and have the added
benefit of warning you when you're nesting your functions too deep.
Heed that warning.
