In my experience, allowing both tabs and spaces just leads to that kind of mess, consistently: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/libstdc%2B%2B-v3/include/std/any?ts https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/libstdc%2B%2B-... and for zero good reason as alignment is a semantic thing, and tools cannot understand the semantics of your code (at a human level, not a "pl semantic" level)
