Yes, I used grep to find that I must restart rio, not just
open a window, for the setting to take effect. It is obvious
when you know how it is working, but neither the page on 'window'
says anything about it, nor man rio mentions tabstop.

Besides, I also wondered in a followup, why acme repeats the
code in rio to figure out the value for tabstop? Is it intended
to run outside of rio? The code seems to be just copied from
rio.c.

The confusion has come from the fact that by default sam uses 8 spaces
per tab, rio uses 4 spaces for tab. And nowhere in the documentation (besides
the sources) could I easily find  how to affect it.
