[issue7583] doctest should normalize tabs when comparing output

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Having thought about it some more, I see why you did the patch the way you did.

The fact that there are two completely different ways to expand tabs in the output that are equally valid and have their advantages and disadvantages makes me wonder if this should be fixed at all.  Perhaps it is better to just say that you can only handle tabs in output by ignoring whitespace.
