Tabs not welcome here?

I notice that quite a few source files have mixed tabs and spaces.

Since tab stops are not standardised, it's generally a bad idea to use
them for indentation.

Any objections if I replace the ones that have crept in?

It looks like the convention is 2 spaces for indents.

Agreed.

Please do.

Seems to be a Ruby-language wide convention.  Every style guide I can
find suggests it.
