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.
