Consistency is particularly important if you're using some kind of
version control. If people start fighting over indentation (if somebody
sweeps through files to "fix" bad indentation,) you end up with ugly
diffs that don't merge well. It's important how you indent -- it's
important that people don't fight over it, so it makes sense to pick
some convention and stick to it.
