One hopes that whoever is responsible for including "tab" in the ASCII
character set is now roasting in hell for his efforts. It has been
suggested that building a system that allows the insertion of tabs
into a text file should be a capital offense. I'm not that extreme; I
think that ten years of writing COBOL code in Novosibirsk would be
adequate punishment.
- Leslie Lamport in TeXhax

- Ibid.
