Yes, but the name is confusing, because it isn't raised for every
sort of indentation error if it's only used for tab/space problems:
try:
1/0
1/0
finally:
pass
still would raise SyntaxError. Should that raise an IndentationError
as well? Or should IndentationError be named something else?
(Just adding IndentationError for -tt isn't hard, I have a
preliminary patch for that now. Adding it for the case above looks
harder.)
