8 character tabs are style(9):
Indentation is an 8 character tab. Second level indents are four
spaces.
They are the *STANDARD* format going back to at least 1976 when I
first started playing on hardware that had hardware tabs, and likely
they go back much further into the deep, dark past than that. Many
systems and editors muddied the waters by allowing one to set one's
tab width....
However, this is a contentious religious war much like the BS vs DEL
war that breaks out from time to time.
