I don't care if you add it, but please don't bind it to TAB. I use TAB to do
`lisp-indent-line' (the default) always. I don't want to have to move the
cursor away from a symbol constituent, just to be able to indent the line.
The beauty of TAB is that it works no matter where the cursor is on a line.

If you want to have TAB sometimes not indent (e.g. `lisp-complete-symbol'),
please do it via `tab-always-indent' = nil.
