Saying you can define tabs to be a different number of spaces is, at least some of the time, erroneous, because some languages (e.g. Python) define tab as 8 spa

Saying you can define tabs to be a different number of spaces is, at least some of the time, erroneous, because some languages (e.g. Python) define tab as 8 spaces. I have a very simple policy on tabs: I don't use them. And since I've had that policy, I've never had a problem involving tabs.
