I have furthermore observed that typing of files via \typefile as well
as \starttyping..\stoptyping are affected, opposed to \typebuffer.
\typefile and the typing environment do never print ^^I for a tab, but
either a space or several spaces, depending on the tab=on/off option.
This behavior is what I would like to have for \typebuffer, too. How to
do it?
