Well, all the style guides I work with usually require either 8-space
tabs with no leading spaces or all spaces. I'm considering altering two
things in NEdit, but I don't think I would do them if other people
wouldn't like to see the patches:

     	1) Deleting the leading spaces when using emulated tabs.
 	2) Adding the ability to change the emulated tabs/hard tabs
 	   setting on a per language basis. Right now, I can't change
 	   whether I use hard tabs or not in emulated tabs on a per
 	   language basis.

Are this things that others would like to see?
