-/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
- * Exercise 1-20:
- * "Write a program `detab` that replaces tabs in the input with the proper
- * number of blanks to space to the next tabstop. Assume a fixed set of
- * tabstops, say every 'n' columns. Should 'n' be a variable or a symbolic
- * parameter?"
- *
- * Answer: 'n' should be a symbolic parameter. It's more apparent what's being
- * worked with and it's not susceptible to scope. Though, in this simple
- * program it really doesn't matter.
- *
- * The "correct" solution uses the isprint() stdlib function, but it's not
- * covered by this point in the book, so I did not use it.
