I understand the problem, but what I don't understand is why we need a new
option for it, given that we already have use_spaces.

I can't think of any reason why you would want the two settings to have
different values... therefore, why not have just one setting that is
honoured whether the indent is the result of the user pressing the tab key,
or an auto-indent following an end of line?
