[Bug tapsets/16472] long chain of nested function calls consumes a lot of empty whitespace due to thread_indent() function

--- Comment #1 from fahadaliarshad at gmail dot com ---
Is there any chance of getting this patch into systemtap? 

While tracing the function-call entries only, the size of the generated file
gets extra-ordinarily large (due to long nestations and no returns being
probed). The function thread_indent(long) which prints whitespace for
pretty-printing needs a sibling(thread_indent_depth(long)) that only prints the
nestation-depth as number as oppose to whitespace. Availability of
thread_indent_depth(long) in native
tapsets(/usr/share/systemtap/tapset/indent.stp) would provide any systemtap
user much more flexibility.

Thanks.
