I am SO sick of C programs that are indented using spaces,
eg the GNU code which seems to have standardized on 2
space indent. In the variable width font that I use, 2 spaces
is not a lot of indent, and the code is totally unreadable (as
opposed to being mostly unreadable, as it would be if it were
at least formatted correctly).
Real programmers indent with tabs.
Maybe the C preprocessor should reject any line that
starts with a space :-)
