As I've already pointed out (several times), my comments apply only to code
indented solely with tabs; if you're mixing tabs and spaces then it's
obviously not safe to mess with the tab size.  (For that matter, I've also
pointed out that I don't think that mixing tabs and spaces like that is a
really good idea anyway.)

Incidentally, RHIDE, as far as I can tell, autoindents entirely with spaces.
Depending upon your settings, some may be converted to tabs when you save
the file, but there doesn't seem to be any way to use tabs within the editor
at all.
