 TABs as syntax are a pain for the users of every language that uses them;
 to add insult to injury you're using a non-standard tabstop. The closest
 to a standard there is is eight character spaces.

 If you don't believe me how about:

 Guido van Rossum of Python has acknowledged that allowing TABs in Python
 source is a headache for many people and that were he to design Python
 again, he would forbid them.
