Seems that this will be a fight forever, if I don't give in:-) I do still
oppose interpretation of tabs, but I will accept patches to add scrolling.
Once all targets support it, it will be the official behaviour. Using the ROM
routines, it should be possible to add it without much overhead. But: It must
be possible to output the character in the lower right corner without causing
the screen to scroll. The check must be done before outputing a character, not
after outputing one.
