I disagree. Again: we wouldn't ask submitters to populate that list with
tags they make up, but the module name.  In the process as I envision it

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
