I disagree with this, because then we are *not* applying the same coding
standards in the backend and in JDBC. If you want to propose that we
dispense with tabs throughout the system, feel free to propose that ---
but it was shot down last time and likely will be again.
I personally concur that four-space tabs is a horrible standard, and
would much rather see us using eight-space tab stops. But I haven't
been able to obtain any significant consensus for that view. Some
developers apparently use editors where a physical tab character needs
to equal the logical indent amount...
