	Sounds more like a problem with the selection of editing tools
and not the language itself... For my usage -- I stick with default tabs
and don't insert spaces; as long as I'm not editing something written by
someone else using a different convention I have no problem.

	Even DEC/VMS FORTRAN77 get bit by the difference between tabs
and spaces... It counts a tab as one character when determining line
length -- allowing for lines that extend beyond "screen" 72 where the
"same" line with spaces gets rejected for having code in a "comment"
zone.
