I broadly agree with your post (I'm of the school of thought that
braces are better than indentation for delimiting blocks), but I don't
think this argument holds water. All you need to do is be consistent
about tabs OR spaces (and I'd recommend tabs, since they're simpler
and safer), and you'll never have this trouble. Also, the parser
should tell you if you mix tabs and spaces, so that won't trip
anything either.
