Comment (by roed):

 By the way, here's a good reason to disallow tabs in `.rst` files.  When
 scanning a comment block, a tab character counts as one space, meaning
 that the indentation level can drop enough to end the comment block, even
 if in a text editor it looks just fine.  Debugging this just took me a
 half hour.  :-)
