If shiftwidth is 4 and tabstop is 8 with noet set, then vim will insert tabs 
as much as it can when indenting, using spaces to fill out to the appropriate 
multiple of shiftwidth.


The fix is just to set noet.


I'm sure emacs has the same capability.  I just don't know if it happens by 
default or not.
