You just need to use an editor that inserts tab characters when the tab 
key is pressed, just like you use an editor that inserts s characters 
when the s key is pressed. If people didn't insist on using spaces where 
tabs are called for, there would be no problem, and you wouldn't need a 
specialized editor to prevent screwing up space-indented code.
