right, the point is we don't _want_ tabs, we want spaces everywhere. so in wiki editor, pasting an example will probably cause them, but they are clearly visible in diffs because of the conversion. also we can't blindly s/r tabs -> spaces without trigger possible warnings for broken tables and links, but I suppose we can just run through an exports/warnings.txt again after doing so ...

the point is it's python-based and whitespace sensitive, so its just safer to pick one or the other. we _could_ go to tabs all around. the only thing that matters is that it is consistent.
