ugh... have you ever seen or changed code which has spaces as
indentation before?
It's a massive pain in the butt hitting the space bar 24 times to get
3 levels of indendation.

Again, it's much MORE readable now. How is it less readable? Even
with 2 space tabs!

Ok, whatever.. If every patch is going to degrade into a code
formatting argument that most people had back in the early 1990's,
then fine. I'm just going to give up then. Let me know when you guys
come up with a documented code formatting convention.
