Comment (by abcd95):

 Reviewed the current state of trunk, The editorconfig change for JSON has
 not been applied yet. The unrelated parts of the original patch (block
 theme template detection) were addressed separately.

 All JSON files in core already use tabs for indentation. The json_encode
 spaces-to-tabs workaround already exists.

 I think we should explicitly add [*.json] with indent_style = tab to
 editorconfig, this formalizes the existing convention, requires no file
 changes, and preserves the accessibility benefit of tabs noted in

 I am open to discussing and scrutinising this further,  or I'll go ahead
 and test this out whenever I next get the bandwidth.
