I don't know what this is supposed to do, but it doesn't seem to do what
I want. Here is the test I performed:
1. create a new file using tab indentation
2. open it in VIM
3. hit the tab key
VIM inserts 4 spaces for the tab so I now have a file containing mixed
tabs and spaces. Ideally, I would like VIM to be smart enough (like
every other programmer's editor in the universe) to detect the current
tab settings in the file and use those.
Cheers,
Brian
