My religion tells me that $DEITY has clearly specified TABs to have
a width of 8.  But of late, I've found heretics using 4 to be arguably
more frequent than the true believers.

In Python they survive by using an indentation style that makes the TAB
width non-significant (i.e. every line is indented exclusively with
TABs).
