[Ocaml-lib-devel] Grr- a reason not use tabs

[Brian H. <bh...@sp...>]

So you get an error from ocamlc like (names changed to protect the 
guilty):

File "foo.ml", line 127, characters 22-26:
This expression has type int but is here used with type int -> 'a

Normally, in vim you can go 127G22| and bounce directly to what it's 
having a typing problem with.  Unfortunately, ocamlc counts tabs as single 
characters, vim counts tabs as however many charaters a tabstop is.  So 
you bounce to the incorrect place in the line.  This can have you run down 
a blind alley thinking that variable bar was the problem, when it was 
actually variable baz.

Spaces do not get misinterpreted like that.
