Personally, I think the indentation of, at least,
Objects/unicodeobject.c should be fixed. This file has become so
mixed-up with tab and space indents that I have no-idea what to use
when I edit it. Just to give an idea how messy it is, they are 5214
lines indented with tabs and 4272 indented with spaces (out the 9733
of the file).
