Summary: difflib.Differ() doesn't always add hints for tab characters
Initial Comment:
The difflib.Differ() object doesn't always add a hint
for added tab characters.
eg:
import difflib
differ = difflib.Differ()
for change in differ.compare(["\tI am a buggy"],
["\t\tI am a bug"]):
print repr(change)
Should return
'- \tI am a buggy'
'? \t --\n'
'+ \t\tI am a bug'
'? +\n'
but actually returns (no hint for the added tab)
'- \tI am a buggy'
'? \t --\n'
'+ \t\tI am a bug'
sys.version reports
2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit

Fix attached. Note that this also modifies the doctest for
Differ._qformat, as the doctest version actually exhibited
the bug (the added tab character wasn't hinted).
