Seems like it should be possible to program the backtab key to simply
move back to the previous tab stop, and it would be more natural than
hitting backspace.  Likewise, I'd expect a mode where TAB simply moves
the cursor, inserting spaces (or even a tab) only if necessary to get
over there.  That would come in handy editing lots of things.

While I use a pretty primitive editing environment myself (Emacs,
terminal mode, black and white), I haven't worried about leading white
space in a long time.  Whatever mode it is I set up years ago knows
where the lines go and just puts them there (sometimes I have to hit
the TAB key once).
