I believe that James was thinking in terms of typewriter-style "tab
settings", where a tab is not a fixed width, but rather moves to the
next column that is defined as a tab stop.  Such things are common in
word processors, but absent in most text editors.

However, I have no idea how such things are relevant to Python.  :-)
