Hello Ian,

So, wrt Q2, what you are saying is, the following would cause issues in
Python 3?

     int f(int x,
     ......int y) {
     --->return g(x,
     --->.........y);
     }

Where:

---> for tabs (used for indentation)
.... for spaces (used for alignment)

(Aside from the fact that that isn't Python syntax *at all*), Python 3 would be OK with that indentation. It wouldn't be OK with mixed tabs and spaces where the meaning depends on the indent width of a tab, but here it does not.

I sincerely hope no one is seriously considering trying to maintain code using a mix of tabs and spaces like that. That's a nightmare.
