Before submitting any code I must read existing sources and it's very hard
because tab size != 8 spaces in my editor and you mix tabs with spaces in
indentations.
(You use tabs just to "compress" eight spaces to one character - do you
_really_ think it's an elegant approach? It would be better not to use tabs
at all.)

And no, I'm not going to change my tab setting.
