If you're dealing with tabs anywhere except at the start of a 
line, then you probably can't solve it in a general way -- 
tabstops become variable.

If you're willing to settle for fixed-width tabstops (as on old 
typewriters, still works in some environments, works fine in 
tab-initial strings) then

tab="        "

Does everything you want in a single variable for tab-initial, 
and has all the information you need for fancy tab-internal 
processing (which I don't recommend).
