I've had a few documentation submissions that included "expand tabs in ruby code to spaces" so I feel that we should have a single sweep that expands all tabs in ruby code to spaces since this is the recommended way.

I personally don't care so much about tabs in C code, I have set up my editor to behave appropriately.
