Tabs can have variable width, which could lead to errors.

I suggest that the extension warns, if tabs are detected as indentation.

Just ran into this with snapshots.

Seems to me we still render tabs in the snapshot for the original line if it contained it. We could detect this, in the case of indentations, and do the same for the rendered snapshot tree?

@mdaverde could you give a specific concise example and elaborate more on the proposed solution?
The only thing I can think of to remedy the situation is to specify tab width in the configuration for the project.

Unrelated - seems like a good remedy to the infamous tabs-with-spaces discussions git automatic tab-space converter .
