This is not a proper implementation of elastic tabstops #4

This is not a proper implementation of my invention. The whole point of elastic tabstops is that it works by moving tabstops rather than modifying the contents of the buffer (in this case by inserting spaces). The name "elastic tabstops" is a clue. There is a big difference between changing the view and changing the buffer.

As it stands the use of this package results in the contents of the buffer containing a mix of spaces and tabs for alignment which is problematic for all sorts of reasons.

I suggest that someone asks the author of Sublime Text to add the ability to set non-uniform tabstops on different lines to the API. Once that's done this package can be reworked to do it properly.
