    Well, it took until Python 3.0 until Python enforced rules that
ensured that the indentation the user sees is the same indentation the
compiler sees.  We finally have a solution that allows both tabs and
spaces but disallows the situations which are ambiguous.  Until
Python 3.0 is fully deployed, there are situations when you need an insane
level of tab/space visibility.  Blame Python, not EMACS.
