But it doesn't resolve the main problem - most Gnumeric files are
unreadable if tab != 8 spaces in your editor. If you look at the code
written by me (e.g. plugin*.c files), you'll notice that it looks equally
well with any tab setting (including, but not limited to, 8 spaces).

That's what I'm asking for - don't force people to use your tab setting.
Don't say "use 8-space tabs or go away and don't touch GNOME".
