I understand your pain, but the guiding principle behind RDoc is that 
the raw source should be universally readable. If tabs are used, and 
tab stops aren't aligned at 8-character intervals, then that's no 
longer the case.

If someone would like to come up with a patch that added support for 
tabs as an option, I'd look at integrating it.
