it's important to make the distinction between indent level and number
of spaces per tab -- they are totally different. i'm for 4 space indent
level, tabs set to 8 spaces (the standard). tabs set to 4 spaces is
bad. when some people use 4 space tabs, and some use 8, and there are
tabs in source code, you're just asking for unreadable code.
