Is your feature request related to a problem?
Sorta. Since the repo uses tabs, and Github views the tabs as 8 spaces by default, we should add an editorconfig file similar to this one. That way, we can look at the file without our eyes hurting from indentation that looks like it's 8 spaces.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Moving to spaces, but that doesn't sound really that feasible just to improve the appearance of our code a little bit.
The other alternative would be to always add ?ts=4 to the urls.
Additional context
None, I suppose.
We'd have to remind newcomers that the repo uses tabs, not spaces, since a tab size of 4 looks like it's spaces, but a tab size of 8 makes it clear it's using tabs.
