Description
Yaml spec says that one shouldn't use tabs to indent a yaml file. So the LS should probably provide the feature that whenever someone idents with a tab, the LS replaces the tab by some spaces (amount computed according to other bits of the file, and if nothing can be inferred, use some usual default).
