And then there's the traditional 8-space tab, gifted to us by
Fortran.

I eventually had to configure vi to use 5-space tabs, because my
boss edited with the Microsoft IDE and used tabs in his C++ code.
I got tired of all the line wraps.  Before he came along, our 
style was never to use tabs.  Drove me crazy when he edited legacy
code and MS converted all groups of 5 spaces to tabs.  He'd check
something in to the revision control system with a one-line change
and there's be hundreds of lines of whitespace diffs.
