I was reading through some spec files today, and my editor was resolving
the tab width as 8. I looked at some of the spec files, and we seem to
have standardized on a tab width of 4 with tabs expanded into spaces.
I decided to encode this in the .editorconfig file for convenience.
PS: I am working on a tree-sitter grammar for these files. I'll probably
try to set up a TextMate grammar was well for those who use editors that
support that. I'll share that later.
