That's funny: sharing is the exact reason why I *like* spaces for
indentation.  They ensure that the code looks the same regardless of local
tab settings.  I consider this an advantage because it makes sure that
comment indentations etc. look the way they were intended (no pun intended).
:-)  I prefer to see code indented the way the author meant to do it over
seeing a mess of indentations caused by mixed usage of tabs and spaces or
whatever editor pecularities.
