;;; @section Introduction

;;; There is no denying that ASCII tab characters are an archaic abomination
;;; [JWZ].  Savvy Emacs users might have noticed that the [Quack] option
;;; variable @code{quack-tabs-are-evil-p} defaults to true.  Note also that
;;; @code{quack-tidy} gladly slays any tab in sight, laughing maniacally as
;;; only the truly righteous can.  Sadly, not all strings in the universe are
;;; Scheme code subject to the wrath of Quack, therefore...
;;;
;;; This very simple Scheme library provides procedures for expanding tab
;;; characters.  It was written early one Sunday morning to complement the
;;; plethora of PLT-specific solutions being offered to the problem on the
;;; nascent Schematics cookbook Wiki.  Its source code is a bit verbose, but it
;;; tries not to generate much garbage, it supports non-zero starting columns,
;;; and it should work with any R5RS Scheme implementation that supports
;;; [SRFI-6].  (A future edition of this continuing epic might remove the
;;; dependency on SRFI-6, should we bother to benchmark and find that some
;;; implementations are not as efficient as we'd like.)
;;;
;;; At time of this writing, the author notes with no small amount of interest
;;; that the Internet domain name @code{tabexpand.com} has not yet been taken.

;;; @section Procedures

;;; Three procedures are provided.  Most applications will use the simple
;;; @code{tabexpand}.

;;; @defproc  tabexpand/stop/col str stop col
;;; @defprocx tabexpand/stop     str stop
;;; @defprocx tabexpand          str
;;;
;;; Yields a new string that is equivalent to string @var{str} except that any
;;; ASCII tab characters have been expanded to space characters.  @var{stop}, a
;;; positive integer defaulting to @code{8}, is used as the tabstop.
;;; @var{col}, a nonnegative integer defaulting to @code{0}, is the context
;;; starting column for the beginning of the string, with respect to which tabs
;;; positions should be calculated.  All characters other than tab are treated
;;; as if they were normal printable characters with no special effect on the
;;; column.
