  I don't understand what this is an issue at _all_.  Everyone should merely
indent all their source code, and then set the tabspace to whatever indentation
increment they want.  This option is available in most editors I can think of;
vi has it (:set ts=#), Emacs undoubtably has it SOMEWHERE, and even Sprint has
it (it's an editor variable, "tabsize", you can set it with [U]tilities/
[M]acros/[E]nter "tabsize = #").
  If it isn't in your editor, then OBVIOUSLY you need a new editor...*
