 There are a few drawbacks about using mixed spaces and tabs in the code,
 but most of all, there are two main reasons: First, it's very annoying as
 many editors/IDEs don't support it. Secondly, you have no visual clue if
 it's using spaces or tabs, so it gets very easy to mix-indent things, and
 harder to receive properly formatted patches and pull requests. I propose
 just using regular tabs instead.
