In the absence of feedback about the doc patch, I have applied it in r81634.

@techtonic: if I recall correctly I explained in your issue that had the patch what the problem was.  Short summary: there are two equally valid ways in which tabs in the output and the spacing in the sample output could be reconciled; both have their problems.  Therefore it is better to have the user handle it explicitly one way or another.

----------
resolution:  -> fixed
stage: patch review -> committed/rejected
status: open -> closed
