    /// **What it does:** Checks doc comments for usage of tab characters.
    ///
    /// **Why is this bad?** The rust style-guide promotes spaces instead of tabs for indentation.
    /// To keep a consistent view on the source, also doc comments should not have tabs.
    /// Also, explaining ascii-diagrams containing tabs can get displayed incorrectly when the
    /// display settings of the author and reader differ.
    ///
    /// **Known problems:** None.
    ///
    /// **Example:**
    /// ```rust
    /// ///
    /// /// Struct to hold two strings:
    /// /// 	- first		one
    /// /// 	- second	one
    /// pub struct DoubleString {
    ///    ///
    ///    /// 	- First String:
    ///    /// 		- needs to be inside here
    ///    first_string: String,
    ///    ///
    ///    /// 	- Second String:
    ///    /// 		- needs to be inside here
    ///    second_string: String,
    ///}
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Will be converted to:
    /// ```rust
    /// ///
    /// /// Struct to hold two strings:
    /// ///     - first        one
    /// ///     - second    one
    /// pub struct DoubleString {
    ///    ///
    ///    ///     - First String:
    ///    ///         - needs to be inside here
