Well, right now many files are indented with a mix of spaces and tabs, depending
on who did the edit and how their editor was configured at the time.

Perhaps a graceful policy would be to mandate that all new edits be made with
spaces without touching other functions in the file. Then hopefully the code
base would gradually converge to a tabless scheme.
