There are pros and cons to both spaces and tabs, so there's hardly
anything that can be concluded about either option being better or
worse than the other.  They're both good and bad at the same time.

However, I think there should be some way to allow the users to choose
the kind of spacing between the automatically added comments and their
respective values.  Yes, readability may be subjective, but I think
that the users should be allowed some kind of choice.
