+#  1. if any lines start with a tab character, tabs are used
+#  2. otherwise, if # 4-spaced lines / 50 < # 2-spaced lines, 2 spaces are used
+#  3. otherwise, if # 8-spaced lines / 50 < # 4-spaced lines, 4 spaces are used
+#  4. otherwise, if any lines start with exactly 8 spaces, 8 spaces are used
+#  5. otherwise, your default settings are used
