I've wanted this before as well.
Maybe instead of adding another option you could modify how listchars
works? You could use tab:xyz for the left character, the repeated middle
character, and the (optional) right character. Then to get an arrow you
could use:
:set listchars=tab:-->
Any existing configurations that use the two character format `tab:xy'
would just be a special case and would be equivalent to tab:xyy.
