char_width('\t')

[David T. <dv...@da...>]

Hi,

1) is it a design decision or omission that char_width('\t') returns 
zero because #\Tab is not a graphical character? (charstrg.d)

2)

is it your reading of the specification that writing the #\Tab 
character to the output stream determinately keeps the output-stream at 
the start of a line?
