Elliotte is right, as usual. The effect of a tab is context dependent, which
makes it very unmanageable. It was a really bad idea to allow tabs to be
stored in files at all - a tab was originally a key on a keyboard that
caused a number of spaces to appear in the document, and it should have
stayed that way.
