(Sorry, but how did ascii get in there? Was the argument for
Unicode or HTML?)

In an ideal world, TAB characters would never have been put into ASCII

I support the idea that somthing should be done. I would like to suggest
that the compiler references an environment variable to determine how many
spaces a tab represents. I realise that this would cause the same code to
run on some systems and fail on others, but it would allow a developer to

This is kind-of a cool idea. If I ever take a course involving writing
my own language I'll be sure to incorporate this idea.
