Right.  The default should be to leave them alone.  I do think there
should be one or more options to get rid of all "real" tabs.
Converting tabs to '\t' inside strings seems reasonable.  Converting
tabs to (soft) tabs in comments also seems best.  Tabs that are not
part of lws, comments or strings are definitely unnecessary, and
probably should be coalesced with neighboring whitespace into a single
blank.
