Thanks for doing that, by the way.  I wanted to do it myself but was 
afraid of starting a war. ;-)

(Until someone tells me how to tell all the terminal programs that I use 
that tabs don't occupy the same room as 8 spaces--so that things like 
'cat' and 'less' show the same indenting as <insert your editor here>--I 
will be a fervent believer that tab characters should move the cursor 8 
spaces.)
