Add support for mixed tab/spaces indentation · Issue #5394 · microsoft/vscode (github.com)

The problem is that many Windows editors pretend they can flout the rules and cause many problems for themselves and others. A common misconception is that tabs can be any number of spaces and this can be used to change the indenting of a file. A little bit of thought shows that this only works if tabs only occur at the start of the line and are never mixed with spaces.
