I didn't intend that implication. What I meant was that we're not 
switching all the Elisp sources to use only spaces to indent. At least, 
that is my understanding. In this particular case, switching to 
all-spaces would have made the patch harder to read. I read a lot of 
patches and perhaps are more sensitive to this issue.
