Dear Gilles,

Huh.. my bad, I actually had my tabs set to 4 on the screen.
Can you at least consider allowing me to use spaces to indent that header file? Placing the entire u-boot environment variables in one string without any indentation of sorts would make that code highly un-readable. And with indents or 8, impossible to fit. But the moment I use space tabs, the tool also complains "please don't use spaces".... I feel sort-of out of options here other than going for a flat un-readable environment variables.
You are probably not the first person to run into such issues. So before asking for exceptions from the rules, you should look around how other developers have solved the problems you are facing.
Why don't you simply split the strings into two or more parts? This will actually make the environment _better_ readable. For an example, have a look at [1] or other existing config files.
