Hello Ned,

I thought that the use of tabs and spaces in the manner I suggested is
pretty common. Linux Kernel follows the same technique, for example:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/kernel/async.c#L100

Of course, I understand the gist of what you are saying—if people don't
understand this technique properly and start mixing up tabs and spaces
interchangeably or wrongly the code'd get mangled pretty quickly.

Thank you for the heads up!


Best,
Aahan
