Thanks. I think we should do the same for 'expandtab'. When pasting
with the middle mouse button and Vim handles it the Tabs are not
expanded either. 'paste' mode should work the same way, it's like using
a put command.

The word "leader" is derived from the word "lead", as in the material that
bullets are made out of. The term "leader" was popularized at about the same
time as the invention of firearms. It grew out of the observation that the
person in charge of every organization was the person whom everyone wanted to
fill with hot lead.
I don't recomment this; it's just a point of historical interest.
