Description:
------------
I am using DOMDocument to pretty-print XML files:

$domDocument = new DomDocument();
$domDocument->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$domDocument->formatOutput = true;
$domDocument->loadXML($uglyXml);
$prettyXml = $domDocument->saveXML();

The identiation width is hardcoded with 2 spaces. I would like to be able to specify a custom identiation width, something like

$domDocument->indentWidth = 4;

Test script:
---------------
$domDocument = new DomDocument();
$domDocument->preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$domDocument->formatOutput = true;
$domDocument->indentWidth = 4;
$domDocument->loadXML($uglyXml);
$prettyXml = $domDocument->saveXML();

This is technically possible if we add another option "formatOutputIndentSize" that proxies to the libxml indent_size option.

This is actually not exposed in a nice way to modify in libxml, the underlying library that does the xml rendering in ext/dom. closing the ticket. sorry :(
