Subject: Solve Exercise 5-11: `entab` and `detab` remixed!

This one was pretty rough. At first I wanted to include a bunch of
error-catching and "smart" stuff. When I took a second look at it and
realized `itoa` returns 0 on a string, things became a bit easier. I
may have been able to outsource a few things to a function or two, but
overall I think it worked out.
