And I firmly believe that if God had intended we format our code with
spaces, He would have made them wider. In my own projects, I use a
one-tab-per-indent style. (I have no idea if my style is analagous to
someone else's; I wrote my own .emacs files.) This drives some of my
developers nuts, but it's my perogative, just as it's the GIMP community's
perogative to enforce GNU style.

If it's a requirement of a project that one adhere to a specific coding
style, I think it's pretty rude to ignore such a request in contributions
to that code, regardless of one's personal beliefs on the matter.

I think Perl should standardize on only 10 or 20 different ways to write a
loop before you start worrying about indentation. And people wonder why
Python has the whitespace enforcement rules... ::runs from Marc :-)::
