That's fair enough. I know it would cause some of us some problems
to switch to spaces, so wasn't really hoping for a change in policy,
but I'm still curious as to why we used tabs and not spaces. What are
the benefits?
In the meantime, I take it people will not yell if the indentation in a
patch looks a bit bizarre :-)...
