The D Style and tab sizes

[Unknown W. Brackets]

I meant, the prevailing style of DMD and Phobos - being "D's current style."

In an open source project, a lot of the time it's important to make your 
code available and convenient for others to view, edit, and contribute 
to.  That's part of the whole idea of open source.

You should always choose what's best for you, but keep in mind others as 
well.  There's usually a good, happy, middle place for everyone.
