[ale] Any language (wuz: Assembly Language?)

[Pete Hardie]

Python doesn't use tabs - it uses consistent indentation.  TPTB (Guido, the
BDFL) recommend tabs, but I write Python with 4-space indents.

And it keeps be from having to deal with previous code that mixes if-else
clauses without braces-around-blocks - a capital offense, IMNSHO
