[Python-ideas] Pipe indentation

[Steve Dower]

A space is always the same width, and tabs are normally rendered as multiple spaces in code editors, so it works just fine. Word wrap is where things get fun... (though I've only had one person complain that my Visual Studio extension doesn't handle it properly... who wraps code?)

Generally they're purely graphical, i.e. they don't care about the
*logical nesting* of your code, only about how many spaces are
drawn on screen.
(no, I don't know what it does with a non-monospaced font)
