You may be onto something here.   Computers are notoriously dumb when it
comes to things like this - to them a character is a character is a
character.    Some exception handling code may be necessary either in the
import or comparison code - probably the latter.    Basically it's not a
good idea to use tabs for formatting, since there's no consistency in the
way that they are handled by the display code, but that's no help if a
program "helpfully" converts spaces to tabs to save space in an export.
