NOTE: This controls the display width of a TAB character, and not the size of an indentation step." But this seems to contradict to the ubiquitous role in actual indentation the option currently plays. It is used by `insert-tab' directly. `tab-to-tab-stop' uses it if `tab-stop-list' is nil, as it is by default. `indent-relative' may use `tab-to-tab-stop'. And, through `indent-relative' and `insert-tab', `tab-width' also affects `indent-for-tab-command'. Am I missing something? Or is this docstring the remnant of a previous change which was left behind? Best regards, Gustavo.
