Lets just mandate spaces instead of tabs - I assume all reasonable
editors can do spaces instead of tabs nowadays anyway, and it would
alleviate some of the confusion.

Now, way back when I was young (and that's a while ago...) I worked on a
project where the project lead had a script that ran through the source
tree and converted multiple spaces into the appropriate number of
tabs... This was on an early PDP-11 with very limited RAM and disk
space, and supporting (IIRC) 6 users, and he could save maybe a few
thousand bytes by doing that - it actually made a difference to compile
times!

But I rather think those days are past now, and that a few extra bytes
to pad the source with spaces won't hit us all that hard....
