OK, now we have two items on the floor. One is 8 vs. 4 space tabs, and
the other is different bracketing as illustrated above.
I have only Vince on the new bracketing. Let's see if others vote for
new bracketing too.
I have Tom Lane, Jan, and Peter voting for 8-space tabs, and myself and
Andreas voting for 4-space tabs. I think we all agree on 4-space
indenting.
Any more votes? I see there is more discussion on this in my mailbox.
