It's not obfuscation, it's Hans' style :-) I'm not a big fan either,
but I got used to it, reading ConTeXt's Lua source code.
I think I've seen it under Roberto's pen in _Programming in Lua_ but
can't be sure.

This is K&R, Will! I think they used four spaces for a single indent,
and a eight-space tab for a double indent (and so on); I personally like
it better than a full eight-space tab because you can have more levels
of indentation ;-) At work we're even using two-space indents (well,
I'm the only one respecting the house style so *I* use a two-space
indent and I've come to like it best).
