Reopening because "Mixed" mode tabs is still indenting improperly in RC3. The
whole point of mixed mode indenting is to make sure that code indented with tabs
appears the same on every machine no matter what the tab setting. 

Consider: 
	public void classifySet(final Set<?> objects, final int value, final long other,
	                        final int device) {
		for (final Object element : objects) {
			System.out.println(element.getClass().getName());
		}
	}

Note that the second line of the argument list is lined up using spaces after
the initial tab that lines it up with the numbers. There are no more tabs after
the first one. 

I have my tab size set at 4 but this editor has a tab size of 8 and you can see
if I paste in the "mixed" formatted text: 

	public void classifySet(final Set<?> objects, final int value, final long other,
							final int device) {
		for (final Object element : objects) {
			System.out.println(element.getClass().getName());
		}
	}
It doesnt line up because of the varied tab size. However my first example will
ALWAYS line up. 

The rule is simple. The phrase is inented to its block level with tabs but then
spaces are used to line things up.

The whole point of tab-space mixture is to make the code looks well-aligned
independently of the defined tab-size. There are some rules:
- use tabs ONLY for leading indentation (convert all mid-line tabs to spaces)
- when lines are wrapped, like in Robert's example, tabs must be used like for
the first line of the wrapped statement, all further indentation must be spaces

Robert's example with ---> as tabs and . as (leading) spaces to illustrate:

--->public void classifySet(final Set<?> objects, final int value, final long other,
--->........................final int device) {
--->--->for (final Object element : objects) {
--->--->--->System.out.println(element.getClass().getName());
--->--->}
--->}
