Oh dear, what have I done?

I notice whether indentation is made from tabs, spaces or a mix because I
use whitespace.el to highlight them (and some other whitespace
arrangments), so that I can try and use them consistently. Of course, if
they never made any difference, then it wouldn't matter, but I find they
tend to throw up false diffs. In this sense, I am using the Emacs to
highlight the short-comings of other tools, so I can avoid them.
