Well, it makes sense, and it was my first implementation, but later I found that
tid() can be 0, and then the space counter (_indent_counters[idx]) will be 
corrupted when running indent() and thread_indent() together.

So, that is why in my example I put the example that contains the first line as:

    0 swapper(0): -> neo_copy_data_from_queue_to_uart

So, we can assume the risk and implement as you proposed, assuming that no one will
use both function together.

Thanks for you review.
