Comment (by dfeuer):

 Replying to [comment:30 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.

 I don't think that will do the trick, but this ticket's comments aren't
 the right venue for the discussion. If you have an idea for improving
 `-fwarn-tabs`, you should open a new ticket.
