  1. If I were to decide, all nesting should be made with tabs and a single nesting level is always a single tab. And all tabs on the line after first non-tab character would be always interpreted as error. That way nobody would be trying to align anything in the statements with tabs but the amount of visual indentation could be user decision instead of being hardcoded in the source code. For example, I prefer Allman-8 style indentation but I'm totally aware that most people consider 8 space width indentation excessive. My above definition would allow one developer to use 2 space indentations for the lines and I would be able to use 8 space indentations even though the binary file on the storage were exactly the same!
