I second that.

In the same spirit, the compiler should issue a warning when
<tab> is used in literal strings, rather than \t, because
some editors _do_ mess up the formatting and thus change the
program!

IMHO, <tab> is a character you'd really want to avoid using
in source code at all, but obviously, there are others who
think otherwise. ;-)
