Real messy. tab has no length. projects tab-indented (not talking about alignment here), is the only consistant choice that permit everyone in this same project to use any *representation* they want for their indentation (8 spaces, 2 spaces, 4 spaces, 11 spaces, ...) without making a mess. -- Vincent
