Python 3.0 defaults to "-tt" (error on inconsistent usage of tab and

Probably. Though there are plenty of precedents for leaving such
inactive options in for a long time, to avoid unnecessarily breaking
hairy shell scripts.
It's even stranger: you can use -ttt to disable the errors again.

Make 'python -tt' the default, meaning Python won't allow mixing tabs and
spaces for indentation. Adds a '-ttt' option to turn the errors back into
warnings; I'm not yet sure whether that's desireable for Py3K.

Should this stay?
In any case, the usage string and the docs for -t and sys.flags must
be corrected.
