IIRC Haskell assumes a tab is 8 spaces.

Correctly, it is explicitly specified in the Haskell spec, see: http://haskell.org/onlinereport/syntax-iso.html#layout

IMO that's way too much. Haskell tends to take up quite a bit of horizontal real-estate so I usually go with 2 spaces.

At any rate, I set my editor to convert them to spaces.

I think this in general the best idea for all projects, even if the language in question has no layout rule. Tabs are simply evil... Cheers, S.
