I love that comic!

I actually did the same tab/space thing for awhile. But my editors
didn't really have a native understanding of it so it became manual
editing of invisible characters, so now I just avoid that style of
alignment regardless of tabs or spaces. Ie, instead of:

foobar(aaaaa, bbbbb, ccccc,
       dddd, eeeee, fffff);

I'll just do:

foobar(
    aaaaa, bbbbb, ccccc,
    dddd, eeeee, fffff
);

Not as pretty, but it works, it makes things simpler, Plus it avoids
the former style's tendency to wind up with gigantically-sized indents.
