1. the following code produce jumping indent error:

die <<"END"
some
text
END
if (some_condition());

("if" indented with 1 tab)

2. lines with nothing except spaces and or tab does not produce errors (while
   trailing whitespaces do)

3. code like this

if ($x) {
z();

produce both "space indent" and "jumping indent" when there are 2/4/8 spaces before z().
and only "space indent" when there are 1 space before z().

it's correct if we assume that tab is 1-space wide, which is a rare thing.

Yes; it probably just needs one error message for that line.

The early versions just bailed out on the first error they encountered, so this wasn't a problem. Now that it reports all error in a file, I need to decide on which errors are mutually exclusive.

I'll try to get around to fixing at least #3 in the next few days.
