    Tabs have been 8 characters wide by default since ages. And there's a good reason for that: Tabs are not meant for indentation, they are meant for tables. And tables less than 4 characters wide are rather rare.

    Setting tab stops every 4 characters is an abomination invented by people misusing tabs for indentation.
