Well, for me, it doesn't ever seem to work quite right.  It always moves 4 
spaces
(assuming tabs is set to 4) whenever the TAB key is pressed.  If your cursor
is already on a tab position than moving 4 spaces is coincidently the correct
behaviour.  But if the cursor is not on a tab position than TAB will move the
cursor past the next tab position.

This isn't normally a problem since smart indent will typically put your cursor
on a tab position so tabbing from there is ok.

This causes me grief because I often like to line up assignments and other
statements.

For example, for the following code.

a = 1
aa = 2
aaa = 3

I'd like to line up the equal signs so that I end up with this.

a     = 1
aa    = 2
aaa   = 3

But if I put the cursor on each equal sign and press tab, I end up with this.

a     = 1
aa     = 2
aaa     = 3

I'll create a bug report for this.

Brian
