Sure, this would work if you could force everyone to follow this 
convention AND that your indentations are always a multiple of the same 
number of spaces. Unfortunately, the later does not seem to hold for 
OCaml programs. For instance:

let x = List.map (fun z ->
                     very_long_stuff_blablablablablablablabla)

IMO this is ugly and I try to avoid this indentation style, but it is 
not always easy and it is the behavior of the Tuareg mode (OCaml mode 
for emacs), and I think the vim OCaml mode too.
