OK, now we have two items on the floor.  One is 8 vs. 4 space tabs, and
the other is different bracketing as illustrated above.

I have only Vince on the new bracketing.  Let's see if others vote for
new bracketing too.

I have Tom Lane, Jan, and Peter voting for 8-space tabs, and myself and
Andreas voting for 4-space tabs.  I think we all agree on 4-space
indenting.

Any more votes?  I see there is more discussion on this in my mailbox.
