more probably bugreport than a wish

Hi, and long life the GNU developers!

indent inserts tabulation symbols into mid-line (for example, between the
declaration and the comment). Having \t`s inside the line is unacceptable,
spaces must be used for alignment. Tabs can take place in a line beginning.
Because, if we have tabs in middle of line, the line end position depends on
a number of spaces used to represent a tab in user`s viewer. This leads to
that lines with same indentation level have their endings glissading, even
if they were aligned before running `indent`.
Well, i just want to say that the option is necessary, that`ll result in
having no tabs mid-line.

If you need more details, and examples of what i mean, i`ll provide you with
them.
