Even though I admit to the heinous crime being a "tab-lover", we have
changed Prothon to accept either tabs or spaces in indents, just not both in
the same file.

As far as top-posting, I am trying to improve, it's just hard to change my
reply style after using it for 30 years without getting any complaints
before. I feel like I'm in a twilight-zone episode.
