Comment(by leif):

 Sorry for the delay, I'm currently trying to make sense of all the
 doctest-related scripts... ;-) (By doing so, I encountered a number of
 flaws, inconsistencies and things I'm not sure if they are correct and/or
 intentional.)

 I suggest splitting this ticket into two, such that the tab-removing Sage
 library patch can be merged immediately (cf. Robert Miller's mail, not
 posted on sage-release).

 I don't think the detection of "illegal" tabs is in the right place/done
 the appropriate way; it's IMHO undesirable to slow down ''every''
 doctesting by scanning each file twice in addition.

 An alternative would be to (also) make tab-checking an ''option'' to the
 test scripts and/or control it by another environment variable, something
 I wanted to provide a reviewer patch for, but couldn't yet because of the
 issues mentioned above that ate my time. :(
