The freebsd style guide includes a provision that #define's should
have a tab after the define, before the symbol, like:
#define^Ifoobar

In 8-character tabs (which is also proscribed by the man page) this
lines up anyway with a single space.  What's the reasoning behind
the tabs?  They also seem to make context diffs look weirder when
you insert a single character in front of the define, like:
+#define	foobar
for
#define	foobar

[ P.S. should this have gone to -chat ? :) ]
