It also ignores that byte counts of non-HT bytes may not necessarily
match display columns.  There is utf8_width() function exported from
utf8.c for that purpose.

I think it is fine to make it default for the pretty=medium, but it
would be nicer to introduce a new command line option --no-untabify
to optionally disable the expansion.
