Well, it might happen anyway; I prefer 4 myself, but I foresee that |
| 7 |
someone that uses less might speak up, those that use more are less |
| 8 |
common afaik. So, we might as well jump straight to the hard arguments; |
| 9 |
if difference then does come up, it gives us reading material to vote. |

From what I recall, the most common argument to set something like 2 is |
| 12 |
to get more indentations on the screen; however, consider that the more |
| 13 |
indentations are brought on the screen, the deeper in the code you can |
| 14 |
get. Surely if you get around something like ~10 indentations you are |
| 15 |
likely in need of extracting a function to keep the code clean. |

People can still override the "presentation" of their editor to behave |
| 18 |
different if they need to differ from the default; note that this is |
| 19 |
presentation, while the editor could respect to save it in the format |
| 20 |
we've expected this at. Though, changing presentation like this could |
| 21 |
again make differences in alignment; and thus, if someone does change |
| 22 |
the presentation I expect them to check the normal tab stop before |
| 23 |
doing or changing alignments. |
