that’s also my favourite way to do it.

some editors can show tabs as an slim unobtrusive slim line and
leading/trailing spaces as middle dots (·)

that way you can not only instantly see all misplaced whitespace
characters, but also indentation levels. (one tab per indentation level is
pretty much as semantically unambiguous as it can get)
