*Sigh* That asymmetry in Text{In,Out}putFormat has bothered me for a
while now. I think at some point, we should do a TabText{In,Out}
putFormat that looks like:
<key>\t<value>\n with tabs and newlines escaped in the keys and values.
That will give us a symmetric set of text formats. Furthermore, I'd
say that if value == NULL, the tab should be left off.
