I know. I've been working with people that have a braille display for
some time now. And just like I did my best to produce code like
if(h[i] == (char)0xe2 && i < h_len-1 && h[i+1] == (char)0x80) { ++i; continue; }
(i.e. as much as possible on the same line for better blind
readibility), Karl should try his best to put tabs for non-blind people,
at least through indent.

In speech mode, I can understand that indeed. Then there is the
automatic indent solution. It doesn't disturb people reading code
through speech, and it helps people reading code through braille or
vision. No reason not to do it.
