If your editor does not show the difference between tabs and spaces, your
editor is lying to you.

Actually, I just press '/<tab>' a lot, which causes tabs on VIM to light up.
There is a "proper" way to change the appearance of tabs, but I'm too lazy
(for now) to use it.

If you press <tab> at all (not counting alt-tab to switch contexts and
such), you are spreading a disease that must be wiped off the earth.  Only
when the last of your miserable breed has drowned in his own vomit will I be
able to sleep peacefully.  Death to the <tab> users!  Death to the <tab>
users!
