Is just a voluntary convention?  Is is prefered or discouraged?
If the former, then we might encourage it adding some instructions
in CONTRIBUTE about when/how do this thing.

When i am changing a function which uses tabs for indentation, i
think that is a good opportunity to change such func. to use white
spaces instead.  The reason why i don't do it by default in any commit
is the lack of official instructions on this subject.
