Yes. Patches to do this class as "obvious".

I don't really think it's worth the churn just to correct spaces vs tabs in 
existing code, though I could be persuaded if someone feels strongly. We're 
definitely no worse than the rest of gcc in this respect.

If you are making big whitespace changes you'd also want to trim trailing 
whitespace, and ensure the correct number of blank lines between functions. 
We may as well get all the formatting mess out the way at once.
