I like tabs set to four spaces, tabs in source rather than spaces and
opening braces on a new line. How evil does that make me?
Actually I was just wondering the other day how easy it would be to do
smart de-tabbing on source -- i.e

it's important to make the distinction between indent level and number

It just mean that stupid
programmers decided it's easier to add a panel that changes the number of
spaces equivalent with TAB instead of implementing code that uses spaces
for indentations 8, and replaces 8 spaces with a tab symbol.
so, the programmers who wrote emacs are *not* stupid,

so, is there a tabs policy in jakarta? like the number of spaces per
tab (4 vs. 8), of no tabs in source code? i ask because i just got the
latest jtc source, and when i open up some of the files in emacs (in
which i have tab width set to 8 spaces), some lines are indented 4
spaces, and some 8.

well, i prefer 8-space tabs, tabs in source code iif everybody uses the
same number of spaces per tab. and, that'll never happen.
for the most part, i don't much care, so long as everybody is
consistent. and, that'll likely never happen either :)

(the indentation), you probably have your editor misconfigured.

No, it says indentation of 4, and it also says that tabs are
equivalent to 8 spaces. This is precise and sufficient and
will work with any virtually any editor [assuming people know
how to use their editor]. Hint: if your editor displays
a single hard-tab (^I in the file) as four spaces
