Yeah, but if we ask for too much we're likely to get nothing at all. 8
is standard from old character terminals, but I find it much too wide
to be useful for programming (or for indenting paragraphs, for that
matter). I'd be much happier with a width of 4, and then in some
future version, TabWidth could become a new property that just defaults
to that.

You may. But I have gobs of code and documents that uses 8, as well
as 8 being the Unix standard. And we are precisely trying to emulate
"old character terminals" here.
If we had to pick one, I'd vote for 8 rather than 4 (:-).

Certainly not; the user can arrange screens however they want. They
may not even have them in a square array; maybe they're arranged in a
line, or a pyramid.

Maybe you are, but I'm not. I'm trying to edit text.

BTW, does anybody know of a Unicode whitespace character that's defined
to be significantly longer than the em space? That is, going back to
the hack that started this thread, is there another character that
would work better?
Thanks,
