An excellent paper and one that influenced my use of tabs/spaces. I
also like the rationale for 8 spaces per indent level here:
http://www.chris-lott.org/resources/cstyle/LinuxKernelCodingStyle.txt

I personally prefer 4 spaces, but that is more a compromise with the
additional block levels in C++ compared with C (namespace, class, method).
