The command usually bound to TAB is really meant for programming
languages, where it indents to "The Correct Indentation", so repeating
it makes no sense.

We could make it repeatable in text-mode buffers, but I suspect that
you'd also want to be able to "fine-tune" it or to un-indent in
a similar way, so maybe you want a more comprehensive solution.
