>Description:
	The new  fmt command expands tabs to spaces by default.  This is completely
	broken compared with the behavior of the old fmt.

	Please fix it.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Type something tabbed over with vi, then pipe it through fmt thusly:

:!}fmt

>Fix:

	Minor code revision or the reintroduction of the old fmt program.
	Why did we change it anyway?
