I guess everyone knows why.

Use -Wwarn-tabs

Warnings are the wrong answer to this problem. In fact, they're rarely the right answer to any problem. Tabs in sourcecode can have bad effects, and Haskell is a language that attempts to reject bad effects as far as possible. Nor can I see any argument in favour of allowing tabs (if HT is allowed, why not VT?).
