Thanks to all of you for answering. Actually I was concerning about function
arguments' alignment (on separated lines) not about indentation. So as I see
it's a question of bent ;) And a simple rule exist - use tabs for indents
and spaces for alignment (when amount of spaces are < 8).
That rule doesn't actually work though, an is imposed by tools limitations.
Consider two people, one with tabs as 8 characters and one with tabs as
4 characters. If person A aligns using a tab plus a space (giving 9
characters), then the alignmnet will be all screwed up for person B (who
will see 5 characters of alignment).
The only rule that works (setting aside bad tools) is:
"use tabs for indents and spaces for alignment"
If that means you need to use two dozen spaces, then so be it.
