I prefer to think of spaces and tabs as independent units.  That way
there are never any errors of comparison.

If you use the equality 8 spaces =3D 1 tab, then your indentation gets
destroyed in, for instance, quoted e-mail messages.  WRT Haskell, this
has annoyed me in literate scripts using '>'.  (I think there was even
some difference between Haskell implementations here?)
