Indeed it does. Well there you go, I'm full of sh*t because having just checked a few of our Go projects, they're all Tab indented. My editors use tabs when editing Go files, and spaces for others. YAML for example uses spaces.

I guess it's so well handled, and transparently so that I hadn't even realised.

Also the spaces thing was a joke, I don't tell my team to uses spaces or tabs, I just tell them to follow the Go programming standards/guidelines when writing Go.

I'm not familiar with the standard Go coding style. Does it correctly handle the case mentioned above, where you have a function call like

    connect(option1,
            option2,
            option3);

That is, will the spaces from the column `connect` starts in be preserved as spaces, or will they be converted to tabs?
