In fact, if editors wouldn't have allowed such a thing, we would be in a
much saner state now. Why not tabs:
-- the standard is 8
-- many common editors do not support tab redefinition (e.g. notepad)
-- tools assume 8 (cvsweb, viewcvs, etc)
-- printers always print it as 8
-- you don't want to setup your editor before actually doing work
-- if people mix tabs and spaces (and they do) the output is not sane
Tab is 8 spaces.
