Simon� is usually very positive to adding enhancements, if this really
turns out to be a problem, I propose that you ask for e.g.

  -fno-tabs  : indentation with tabs is an error, only spaces allowed
  -fconsistent-indent : indents must be exactly matching in a block

or whatever floats your boat, and helps you enforce your particular
coding standard.  Extra credit if you supply the patch to GHC, of
course. :-)

that they are any less open to persuasion.
