Sure, but that's a separate issue.

My remark was merely in response to the claim that Haskell cares
whether you put tabs or spaces in your files.  It does not, so long
as the tabs are of length 8.  If your editor produces tabs of a
different size, that's a problem with your editor or the way you
dislike Haskell's layout rules.

Or, to look at it another way, there are better reasons to dislike
Haskell's layout rules than this.
