Perhaps I was not clear. The meaning of whitespace is totally what you 
make it, but I guess that what you are saying is that because tab 
'	' 
looks the same as 

'     ' 

then perhaps it should use \t to distinguish, which seems reasonable. As 
the development of the tool continues, I am sure that reasonable 
suggestions will be incorporated.
