Absolutely. I created a jaw-dropping moment for a manager and about fifteen developers with that one once. They thought they were going to have to spend the next two weeks cleaning up SQL code that had been maintained for years by various people using various editors, some of which used tabs and others not. I fixed it for them with an expand one liner. Hear me roar, or yodel like Tarzan. :-) -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
