tabs indent code consistently for me and i use a range of typefaces
(depending where i am and what i'm using for display).  if the size
set for space is relatively small, i suppose there might well be a problem.

ah. but what about
	int	fred;
	long	jim;
or
static	int	fred;
extern	long	jim;

perhaps i just write

static int fred;
extern long jim;

or i put the tabs in for old times' sake but don't fuss.  the things don't line
up if you use different tab settings anyway, so what's the point.  worst is
the code that uses a mixture of tabs and spaces, but that's not usual in Plan 9 source.

for me, easily the most useful thing to improve being able to read and
write C would be to eliminate that annoying need for forward
declaration of functions when compilers slurp in the whole thing.
ugh.
