Not so fast with those 8-column tabs. (But, I do NOT want to start
a religious war here).
At my company, we're required to have one tab stop, no spaces, between
indentation levels. Boss likes 8 columns, which to my mind is wayyyyy
too much -- it doesn't take too many levels for your code to march
off the right side of the screen. I prefer four columns.
No problem -- I make my tab settings four columns. Which, for purposes
of here docs and this proposal, works just as well.
The REAL sinners are those who mix spaces and tabs. THAT's evil. :-)
