In general I would agree, but I guess we can consider these as "data"
since they are part of a literal, and thus we could consider it is not
mixing indentations in that sense (for the Rust code).

It could potentially confuse a script or tool that does not know about
the language and make it report an inconsistency. But there is always
going to be a corner case or similar that you need to skip/ignore in a
tool like that. And, in other cases, like the analysis that was done
for the potential `.editorconfig` file, it would just be noise since
we don't do this kind of generation often within `.rs` files.

Either way is fine for me: I don't mind the status quo, because it is
just a generated file, so I don't expect many readers; and I don't
mind the file having the proper tabs for its file extension either,
and I guess perhaps having those tabs helps avoid some other tool
complaining about the file if it is run when the file exists.

Cheers,
Miguel
