(Marco has already shown that you can read the Vim help for this
topic, so I won't repeat that.)

There's no such thing as "a smarttab", and that's not what the option
means. It's the name of an option that enables or disables a certain
behaviour. You can think if it, rather, as "smart handling of the
<Tab> key".
