FWIW, all my toy languages consider U+0009 HORIZONTAL TABULATION in a source file to be an invalid character, like any other control character except for U+000A LINE FEED (and also U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN but only when immediately before a LINE FEED).


I’d be a python programmer now if they had done this. It’s such an egregiously ridiculous foot gun that I can’t stand it.
