not an issue. by assuming it is two spaces.

it is still better to have to switch to 2 tabwidth before committing to check line length then to be forced to use 2 spaces forever.

How about lining things up? Take a long function call where you want to wrap the params:

    hello( world,
           solarsytem,
           universe
           ... );

You can't if you just use tabs - you would have to mix tabs and spaces.

Use

   hello(
     world,
     solarsytem,
     universe
   );

which doesn't require perfect line-up with the first entry, and is still clear to the reader what's going on.

this is how i code. 1st pass: func( ); 2nd pass: put in the args.

this ensures the closing paren immediately and makes it possible to comment out things that are inside the parens.
