Guido, you need to Pronounce on this!

I personally prefer 4-space no-hard-tabs everywhere, but given the way most
editors work, the most important thing is that there's no variation within a
given file type (e.g., that all .c files do the same, and all .py files do
the same, but it's bearable for .c and .py files to differ -- which latter
has been the case until now).
