That's good. I was thinking that if they actually took out tab support 
I'd have to fork the code base and keep applying a patch that added tab 
support back in. Not to hard I think but not the kind of thing I like to do.

Overall I dislike features being removed, once added as 
non-experimental. I think if a languages authors want to do major 
changes like that which will break compatibility it's better to create a 
new language. Even if the two languages are highly similar. Otherwise 
you end up into weird issues like Perl where new versions take forever 
and if they are released as many people are annoyed as are pleased. Call 
them a family of languages if you like. So prehaps we could see the 
language Monty with some of Guido's new and improved ideas.
