Actually, I was one very happy camper when I discovered the modeline feature.
Different people use different tab settings and using modeline is a pretty
painless way to let anybody with any default setting go in and edit any
file.  There are also some files where I want ignorecase turned off, while
I want it on 95% of the time.  Yes, I know its a security hole.  But it's
such a damned useful little hole.....
