Indent should be consistent

Feature request

How many indent spaces should I use?

I encounter many YAML files, some indent 4 spaces, some indent 2 spaces, and some indent 2 spaces before - list, and others not. Sometimes I got confused when they mixed:

example:
  indent: 2 spaces
  items:
  - one
  - two
  others:
    - three
    - four
  inner:
      indent: 4 spaces
      items:
      - five
      - six
      others:
          - seven
          - eight

I concur with option two. Particular choice of indent is not as important as consistent indent.
