/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
 * Exercise 1-21:
 * "Write a program `entab` that replaces strings of blanks by the minimum
 * number of tabs and blanks to achieve the same spacing. Use the same tab
 * stops as for `detab`. When either a tab or a single blank would suffice to
 * reach a tab stop, which should be given preference?"
 *
 * Answer: A blank. A tab character that comes after (tabstop - 1) blanks makes
 * little-to-no sense and could mess up alignment in some environments.
 *
