Tabs instead of spaces? They're plenty common enough, but I am *not*
getting into that debate now. The file's perfectly consistent - aside
from inside strings, all indentation is done with tabs, one per level.

How do you go about doing multi-line comments? I know I've seen other
code using triple-quoted strings for long comments before.
