Just allow both spaces and tabs, but not in the same block. If someone
with a crippled editor (e.g. non-programmers which might default to
notepad, or someone not on his own computer) tries to create a new
function in a spaces-only file, he's going to be so pissed because he
has to hit spacebar 4 times instead of one tab to make the code look
the same.
