It does seem I am out of touch with how programmers write their code then :-(

I thought Tabs would have been shunted because of stuff like edit and Nano, but probably because everyone is using Vis C style compilers now and have long since abandoned other editors, it doesn't matter.

Time for me to think about embracing the formally evil tab :-(

While we are on the topic (on the off-topic topic), what about other stuff, e.g.

class CFoo
{
public:
  CFoo();

  int       m_MemberVariable;
  
  void      MyMethod(int nArgument,int nAnotherArgument);
 
};

or

class Foo
{
public:
  Foo();

  int memberVariable;
  
  void myMethod(int argument,int anotherArgument);
};

or even

class foo
{
public:
  foo();

  int member_variable;

  my_method ( int argument, int another_argument );
};
