[web-devel] Fwd: [hamlet] Clearer error for mixed spaces / tabs nesting in cassius (#2)

I think the 1 tab = X spaces rule is bad: it implies a mixing of tabs and
spaces, which only leads to problems.
Ideally one could choose between using either 1 tab or the same multiple of
spaces, but never mix the two.
