Everyone that uses a non-standard tabstop for their own private code
should put something like this (or similar, depending on your editor):

    # vi: set ts=4:  # or whatever non-standard value you want

I consider putting "set ts=4" in .exrc simply a bad idea, because
you're choosing to be non-standard by default.
