The spacing in MacPorts is a bit non-standard. We have mostly tabs,

I propose that all future edits be standardized at either 2-width
or 4-width soft tabs (as in, spaces). I'd even be willing to
convert all existing tcl files to use spaces instead of tabs in one
batch, though that could leave indentation issues (but those can be
fixed by hand the next time the file is edited).
Is there any reason to keep tabs? Or any other comments?
Personally I prefer anarchy over regulation.
Other than a lack of consistency, has anybody experienced real
problems with the way things are? (Yes, I understand that with tabs
spacing can get a bit wonky if one person's editor is set to 4
characters per tab, while another has theirs at 8 spaces, and that
spacing when files are cat'd to a terminal at 8 spaces can look funny
too... but is consistency worth the price of conformity?)
