Please, check the archive. At one time gfortran would issue a warning
if a tab was used in a nonconforming context. Too many people were
upset about this, so the -W[no-]tab option, which has a convoluted history,
was the compromise.

Tab is not and never has been a member of the Fortran character set.
The above line of code is nonconforming. Gfortran, IMNSHO, should
always issue an error, but I lost that battle years ago.
