What if when aligning details inside a line you replaced the spaces with tabs because you’re an idiot or a osychop? what then huh? how do tabs solve that?
Therefore I’ll reinvent a bad version of tabs with macros that repeat an integer number of spaces and you’ll write a script for emacs that visually replaces that with a different integer number of spaces so things render how you like.
Tabs converted to spaces. Because I like tabs but I also want consistency.
Tabs are consistent?

Are you okay? None of that makes any sense.
Folks advocating for tabs use them for indentation, not alignment. What has that got to do with Emacs?
