Files size reduce - replace "4xSpace" with "Tab"

[Simek]

I prepare script which replace four Spaces with Tab. I use this script in many cases.
Now I let him to do his best in "wp-includes" folder. About 2000+ spaces was replaced. It means that files has now 1500 charters less.

So you reduced the total file size of WordPress by 1.5kB. And this helps how? Regardless, you should be sending the patch upstream to the external library repos.

As soon as the external library are updated, you are going to have to do the same thing again. Actually, you know should probably send inline documentation upstream as well.

Should be marked as invalid, but I'm not going to do it.

This is pointless.

As jacob points out most if not all of the files you are changing have upstreams and the changes will just revert with the next version.

The problem also is that PEAR coding standards are to use 4 spaces instead of tabs. You are not going to be able to change that, so even if you send the patch up the PEAR repository, they aren't going to commit it because it would violate their coding standard. The other ones are on sourceforge, so I doubt you are going to change the developers minds on the spaces vs tabs debate. It is a preference thing.
