Some have asserted that tab characters should be removed from source.
However, for makefiles, according to the GNU Make Manual (for version
3.80) "You need to put a tab character at the beginning of every

This has always struck me as lunacy, but it's an example of the IT

Yep, same here. We were just voting on case commonality in the keyboard
universe.

The IBM HLASM supports a builtin function called BYTE that permits an
arbitrary character to be defined and introduced into assembled text.
It is 'generic' so that, for example

Most MVS or z/OS programs expect commas between parameters, or blanks.
But if this is a z/Unix program, the tab probably would be expected.
