idents are 4, tabs are 8. This is probably because editors like vi 
have a default of 8 but you really wana have 4 to write the code. So 
you use "soft tabs" which make you edit like you have tabs at 4 but 
save it like tabs are at 8.

Personally I would prefer to have tabstops at 4 and idents at 4. 
Would make life much easier in any editor I guess. My editor (BBEdit) 
doesnt have virtual tabstops so I have to do it manually and I hate 
it.

Would it be too keen to decide to change that rule?
