You may like Sven Guckes' experiments about syntax coloring
involving visible tabs.  He made up a syntax-file that even
shows whether leading/trailing whitespace consists of tabs,
spaces, or a mix of both.

Details should be available somewhere at

	http://www.vim.org/
	http://www.math-fu-berlin.de/~guckes/vim/

I think I'll convince him to extract the necessary parts for
this kind of config files from his experimental file (which
is far too colorful for any real use).

What does ^T do in bash ?  In my tcsh it justs swaps to adjacent chars.
