Normally people don't hit space 4 times, normally they have there editor
configured so that the tab key inserts 4 spaces rather then a \t :)
Is the following still legal syntax, as I find that much easier to read
(Not sure if i'll ever have to read / write it though.
blahblah(xxx)
blah2whatever(yyy)
blah3boo(zzz)
wootwoot(x)
boobooboo(7)
weee(y)
abracadabra(hey)
