I don't know how that would be done, and I agree with mr. McArthur that it is 
unlikely to happen. However, you could always use an sed ugly hack once in a 
while to convert tabs to spaces.

sed s/"\t"/\ \ \ \ /g source-tabs.c > source-spaces.c

It works here, but I realise it's _far_ from a solution (and ugly as hell). 
Just replace the number of escaped spaces to suit your needs.
