 		Returns the effective value of 'shiftwidth'. This is the
 		'shiftwidth' value unless it is zero, in which case it is the

-		When there is one argument {list} this is used as position
-		|List| for which to return the 'shiftwidth' value (actually
-		only the column number is relevant). This matters for the
-		'vartabstop' feature. For the {list} arguments see |cursor()|
-		function. If the 'vartabstop' setting is enabled and no
-		{list} argument is given, the current cursor position is
-		taken into account.
