Reading a tab as however many spaces is trivial, and the point of tabs.

Reading however many spaces as a tab is a gross hack that has to be dialed-in for whatever standard the document chose.

Just use tabs in the first place. God damn. That's what they're for.

I’m on team tab 100% I guess I was saying if someone felt they had to use spaces then they shouldn’t handicap everyone else because of their choice and an interpreter could normalize their code.
