it's asking for trouble in our circles too. Imagine getting a tab-sep file, opening it up in an editor and having it automatically convert to 4 spaces "because", then sending it back without checking something that doesn't look wrong.

Or an input/editor where the `tab` key moves your focus from the text field to the next button. Like Slack. You can't just hit `tab` in Slack when typing a code snippet for something that needs them like a Makefile.
