TabFormatter
============================
A simple utility method that strips
out tab characters from multi line strings
and replaces them with any arbitrary string.
Not elegant, purely useful
## Usage
```
TabFormatter.format(
string,
numChars,
replacementString || ' ',
replacementStringWidth || 1,
prefix || '',
suffix || ''
);
```
```
TabFormatter.format("\tvar b;\t//Hi!", 4);
// -> " var b; //Hi!"
TabFormatter.format("\tvar b;\t//Hi!", 4, ' ', 1);
// -> " var b; //Hi!"
TabFormatter.format("\tvar b;\t//Hi!", 4, ' ', 1, '','');
// -> " var b; //Hi!"
```
### Why?
Wanted to write a blog post about tabs v spaces
and replacing tabs turned out to be more than the
single liner I hoped. So unit tests!
