Of course not spaces, Wolfgang, you've misunderstood what I said.
It is one space for one line, see the example below.

That's how it looks currently:
struct something {
	type	var1;
	type var2;
	type var3;
	type	var4;
};

What I mean is either of two:

struct something {
	type	var1;
	type	var2;
	type	var3;
	type	var3;
};

or

struct something {
	type var1;
	type var2;
	type var3;
	type var3;
};

The second is motivated by absence of an alignment issue,
because the type is always the same (u8).
Now, if the type is different among fields, then of course tab(s)
should be used for alignment!

Hope now we are talking the same thing.
