    Is there something I can do to make Zwei pretend that all of the
    whitespace in a line is just spaces (i.e., NOT tabs)?  Although
    I understand the usefulness of tabstops in compacting the disk
    versions of indented source code, I don't see any reason why I
    ever have to know about them.  (It offends my internal model
    to have C-D eliminate 8 "spaces" or for the space bar not to
    move the cursor, etc.)
There is a version of C-D that treats tabs as sets of spaces like rubout in
lisp mode does.
