I resemble that remark...
Actually, I suspect that many people are in the same boat I'm in. I rarely
need to move code I write off of Unix systems. I had to execute "python
--help" yesterday to learn what -t means. Modules that I made public ages
ago with no consideration of the tab devil have elicited nary a peep about
indentation problems from anyone. (Of course, maybe nobody uses them and
I'm simply deluding myself thinking they might be of interest to
someone... ;-)
Still, if all tabs or all spaces is the way to go and we can be reasonably
sure that most/all people will have an indentation-friendly editor at their
disposal, then perhaps after a period of time -t should be the default.
