That argument is not void, but using spaces only to indent ensures that everyone writes code that has a reasonably depth (i.e., doesn't consist of 1 function whose code is 200 columns wide). If someone is using tabs with a length of e.g. 2 spaces, he will presumably write awful code as I just described. > like to use spaces to indent, but because of his or her inability to > configure the programming environment used, or in the case of emacs, the > impossibility of configuration (yes, I use vim and I'm happy with it, Er, WTF are you talking about ? -- Florent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
