I tried to use a standard hook with a list of function, but I found it
was not flexible enough to cover adequately the variety of interactions
between the different options (TAB is highly sought after, so the
existing interactions are sometimes fairly delicate).
A `tab-dwim-function` var is a bit more delicate to configure than
a `tab-dwim-functions` var, but I think neither of them would be usable
via Custom anyway (because it's often overridden buffer-locally by
major/minor modes).
This said, a `tab-dwim-functions` would be a great improvement over
what have, in any case.
