Tabs

Hello,

I've set tabs to 4 and am noticing that, when inputting data, if I tab
twice it will align correctly both times, but backspacing will go back
8 characters. Is there a setting I'm missing that also handles
backspacing of tab character?

Steps to reproduce: open terminal, `stty tab0`, `tabs -4`, `cat >>
tst0`. Enter a visual character, followed by two tabs (should be 8
spaces beyond that character), then press backspace once. It will take
you to the original character on the input line.

version 5.9 (patch 20140913) Ncurses installed.

Thanks for the assist.
