Exactly.

She set out one day

obeys the only-ident-by-tabs rule, as does
if (To control chain reactions, your odds

In your fission reactor
Their lack is a factor
}
In screams of "A meltdown! Ye gods!"
Now, the former makes it hard to tell what's condition vs consequent.
(Or whatever the correct technical term is in cases like these.)
Yes. And the second one is just ugly IMHO.
That's why 3 of us (IIRC) have suggested using a few spaces on
multi-line "if" statements rather than many-tabs. Like so:
if (There was a young lady named Bright
Whose speed was far faster than light) {
She set out one day
in a relative way
}
And returned on the previous night
but I'm ready to drop it and hope that I never have to look at
that code. :)
