Please don't add the "tab-width: 4" specifier.
Specifying a tab-width at all in a new file with "indent-tabs-mode: nil"
is a contradiction. The latter says there should be no TABs, yet
the former says "when there are, give them width 4." Coding style
guidelines are universal in their recommendations to stick with 8-byte
TAB stops, independent of whether you actually use TAB or spaces.
Agreed, good idea.
