Back in the old days, saving 7 bytes was even more significant than those two bytes you saved by not storing the year on dates (pre-Y2K).
But actually, it doesn’t save bytes, if the alternative is to use tabs:
I just tried merging a lot of my sources and did a test:
Using tabs: 1.16 MB Using spaces: 1.32 MB Using the hybrid: 1.18 MB
So while the hybrid comes close to using only tabs, it still takes up more space on disk.
