I added it in LiveCode 7 because we needed most of its mechanisms to
implement right-to-left text properly; getting per-tab-cell alignment
was just a happy bonus ;)

By necessity, tabs have to apply to a whole line - it doesn't really make sense 
to have them settable at any other granularity. (Though, as always, you can set 
them on the field as a whole).
