Ah, thanks.  I see in my docutils docs that David Goodger used three and
four-space indents (three for indenting the body of a directive, four
for other cases).

I don’t remember this being a pain.  Maybe it’s because the reST I tend
to edit has much more reST indents than Python code example indents, so
I don’t mind typing <Tab><Space>.
