We don't have a standard but the closest thing we have is code written
by Alexandre and he is certainly not using tabs. He seems tobe using 4
space indentations instead.


Dosn't this:

        ^^

contradict this

> \t	^^^^a-- )

The extra tab seems wrong in the first example.
(Yeah, the rules involving tabs are complex and one is way too likely to
get them wrong)

Besides if you leave a space after the '(', isn't it more logical to
align 'a--' with 'a=0'? (Solution: don't leave a space after '(', but
that's just me)

One rule we do have: No space at the end of lines.
