All that wonderful whitespace pissing about missed out on several
tab->spaces or even spaces->tabs conversions inside comments.

Take a look at the copyright notice in just about any file you care to
name.  I've give you an example:
        src/lyxfunc.C

There are three indented lines.  One of them has a single tab the
others have spaces.  The first indented line has an extra space making
for a misalignment.

More importantly, the whitespace pissing about didn't end up aligning
the switch statements in lyxfunc.C any better than they were before.
Take a look around line 414 for example:

        case LFUN_RUNCHKTEX:
                disable = lyxrc.chktex_command == "none";
                break;
        case LFUN_BUILDPROG:
                disable = !Exporter::IsExportable(buf, "program");
                break;

No extra whitespace between cases even though that is the standard
used throughout the rest of the file.  Although there are also weird
clusters of cases near this area.

How will we live with ourselves with all these hodge-podge
coding "standards" that last a few hundred lines in a file of several
thousand lines?
