Well, _if_ you're going to do untabification, I guess it's best to keep
it separate, but ... I think in general it's a very bad idea to make
widespread source changes for purely cosmetic reasons (and in this case,
it's not even really "cosmetic" -- whitespace is invisible!); it's a big
pain for merging.
Please, let's just stick with a recommended setting of
`indent-tabs-mode', and not do any untabification. The benefits of
untabification seem very small compared to the pain (to be honest, what
_are_ the benefits, exactly???).
