Comment (by goldfire):

 While I generally agree with @hvr in wanting to think about tooling, I
 disagree in this instance. It's ''very'' easy for tooling to find tabs on
 its own -- much easier, I would bargain, than trying to parse GHC's
 warnings. And maintaining two different warnings, with their own flags,
 for "warn once" vs. "warn every time" seems heavy.
