one can make the tab 'active' and have a meaning of say 2em but that's
normally not what one does in tex ... btw, there are options for doing
lines with odd/even indentation schemes
a tab at the start of a line (when it can be recognized as such) could
work but in the middle ... doable but still somewhat hackery because it
involves position tracking
