I guess this didn't make the cut. It's a bit too smart at the moment...

Just to summarize: if you detect that it's the start of a line, then tab 
should insert sufficient spaces for the current code indent level (or 
whatever you determine the indent level should be).

In all other cases it should insert sufficient spaces so that the cursor 
is at the next column which is divisible by the number of spaces in a tab 
stop.

So if you have tabs set to 8 spaces, and the cursor is on position 5, you 
should insert 3 spaces to bring it up to 8 spaces. If you press tab again 
you would insert 8 spaces to bring it up to 16 spaces.
