The code is ultimately formatted by jalopy. The idea is to minimize the=20
changes when jalopy is invoked.

If too many lines change with jalopy due to indentation issues and the=20
changes are committed, it is tedious to identify the lines containing=20
meaningful changes because they get drowned in silly indentation changes.

My previous message retains its validity. Where possible, please avoid=20
using tab characters for indentation.
