Comment (by Polarina):
Tabs are generally not the cause for incorrect indentation. It is mixing
them with spaces that do.
An alternative approach would be to warn if a tab character is preceded by
a space. That would keep the tabs people happy, even those that use tabs
for indentation and spaces for alignment; while catching most cases of
tab/space mix-ups.
