Not quite; tools like diff that put a character at the beginning of
the line are likely to be tab-aware, and gcc is certainly going to
comprehend them (at least to the extent of treating them as
whitespace). And I think less takes notice of them, too, so it's only
the very simplest tools like cat that actually ignore them or treat
them as single characters (or even bytes).
