Fair point! I remember we discussed both, but as we never truly
documented any result here I have forgotten it. And it is aligned
what Gert claims too.
Also, 8 spaces is a terrible idea anyway. Even the most ancient printing
presses (after indentation was initially used) only went as far as (the
equivalent of) 5 - and their fonts were proportional.
That said, I will always prefer \t over \x20*.
