Before you worry too much about how Mark spends his time ;-)
I wrote this behavior in about five minutes, so I can't image it took him
any longer than that, even working in C.
setProp xTabWidths X
-- sets the tabStops of the target based on a set of tabWidths
repeat for each item i in X
add i to T
put T & comma after S
end repeat
set the tabStops of me to char 1 to -2 of S
end xTabWidths
getProp xTabWidths
-- returns the tabWidths of the target
put 0 into LT
repeat for each item i in the tabStops of me
put (i - LT) & comma after W
put i into LT
end repeat
return char 1 to -2 of W
end xTabWidths
Mark already spent his time on that: rather than require us to write
scripts to get consistent behavior from tabStops, we can now use the
tabWidths property.
