I don't know what backwards editor you're using (well, I do), but for me
it's very easy to change configuration per project (and I do), and
anyhow tabs are 4 spaces for me by default (my configuration).
I'm forced to do very bad things to my configuration just to write code
for the EFL because the EFL uses crazy weird indentation rules, so that
same logic already doesn't apply for the EFL.
