Hi William,

I agree with you, 3 spaces is weird, never seen that before too. IIRC,
someone said "4 spaces is too much, 2 spaces isn't enough, so 3 spaces is
the correct value"... This indentation rule can produce endless debates, I
guess it's better keep it buried (isn't that you who already tried to open
cans of worms like this  ?... :))

I prefer indentation using real tab char...

                  __
(\   .-.   .-.   /_")
 \\_//^\\_//^\\_//
  `"`   `"`   `"`
