The same is true for tab-width, sentence-end-double-space and
fill-column, yet we set those.

I was unclear: I meant if there was a mix of lines with TAB + SPACEs
and lines with SPACEs only, I tend to normalize towards SPACEs.

Itʼs a constant battle between "try to match the surrounding style"
and "my indentation prejudices are *right*, dammit" :-)

Anyway, I have no wish to reignite a TABs vs SPACEs
discussion. Perhaps Iʼll just stick to elisp, where SPACEs rule.
