Currently, no lines match the following:

I understand the latter but what's wrong with the former? The width of a
HT is by definition 8 columns throughout the git codebase.
Ah, well, the width of a HT has been a free variable in my
calculations; I was operating under the assumption that whitespace
used for indentation can float freely according to the user's
settings. A few of the lines were aligning function arguments via tabs
and a few extra spaces, which is not reliable in my model.
Frankly, I don't like tabs and spaces sharing the same contiguous
block. I don't like it all. ;-B
Using tabs to align stuff to indentation level and spaces to align
line continuation is the only possible way to let users choose
whichever indentation depth they want while preserving the continuation
alignment. What's not to like about that? Especially if you think a
horizontal tab can be any size at all, you should be all agog.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
