That won't go away for me (Google's settings default to TWO-space
indents :-( ) but I agree with the 4-space indent -- eventually. Right
now I think that making it nearly impossible to merge changes from 2.5
into the 3.0 branch is a disadvantage; I'd rather not deal with this
just yet (but I will eventually, of course).
