For maximum compatibility with hardware tabs on
(now "antique") terminals, and to properly reproduce
the expected appearance of code from old Unix systems,
use 8-character tab spacing.  For your own code, use
whatever your editor supports that you are happy with,
and run it through "retab -i +whatever" to convert it
to look identical on 8-character tabstop systems.
