It is for C code, but there's less agreement about non-code files
(and no enforcement mechanism like pgindent, either). People may or
may not have their editors configured to do the right thing in non-C
files, so it seems best to avoid cases where it'd matter. We actually
have a policy against using tabs at all in SGML files, for example.
