That only works after you figure out what the correct tab width should
have been to begin with.

The indentation offset is rarely 8, so I guess tabs get inserted only
after 4 levels of indentation, creating a horrible mix.
Can we just run M-x whitespace-cleanup on all elisp shipped by Emacs,
since someone always misunderstands how to use tabs correctly? This
cleanup does some additional things like removing trailing spaces. I
thought the complaint against this is that we don't want to see
whitespace changes in diffs, but those can be hidden now.

I'm proposing to not mix tabs and spaces, but since not everybody
understands why this is desirable, let's just run M-x
whitespace-cleanup instead.
