Aside from the irony of insisting on 3, 5, 8 etc spaces elsewhere I really
don't get the idea of defining language layout based on individuals text
editor preferences. Everyone has a different setup so we have effectively
free reign to define what works for us and require its followed.
If folk are willing to set up editors to emulate the current efl
indentation I'm certain that 4 spaces is not going to cause much trouble.
Amusingly EDI is 4 space soft tab by default these days :-D
