Line feed isn't a printable character either, but it's pretty important to
remember. I actually noticed this when I ran `cat /etc/fstab` on a machine that
used tabs to align the columns, and after maximizing the window I was pretty
confused for a second that the space was missing between the <dump> and <pass>
options.

The current behavior makes text reflow actively detrimental when working with
tab delimited data.
