tab being 8 spaces wide versus some other width. And I see that 8 spaces
for a tab is probably the ideal (at least it was).* However, I don't see
the reasons for having first level of indent 4 spaces and second 1 tab.
This means that first level of indent is 1/2 of a tab? I don't think this
is a good idea.

* If you are using only tabs it really does not matter "how long" tab (in
spaces) is because indentation levels are defined in number of tabs (not
spaces) and the number is natural number (naturally).
