Tab is IMHO an evil (In my projects, I prohibited using TABS) since
everyone has a different adjustment in his editor thus smashing the
layout.

TAB was useful in times of punchcards, when disk space was very expensive.

Nevertheless for sake of robustness, TAB should not break anything
but should be treated as regular whitespace.
