-- To replace N spaces with tabs, we match the last N spaces before the start of
-- the actual code and replace them with a tab.
-- We repeat this until we can't find any more spaces before the code.
-- The problem we encounter with this method is that if we have less than N
-- remaining spaces, those will end up at the start of the line.
-- Eg:
-- int main() {
-- __printf("Hello world\n");
-- ___return 0;
-- }
--
-- Becomes
-- int main() {
-- #printf("Hello world\n");
-- _#return 0;
-- }
--
-- Instead of
-- int main() {
-- #printf("Hello world\n");
-- #_return 0;
-- }
-- With regex we could do something like
-- `regex.gsub("(^(?: {2})*)(?: {2})", "\\1\t")`
-- but the implementation of `regex.gsub` is very slow.
--
-- The workaround is to find the longest possible repetition of N*X spaces and
-- use that information to replace the longest repetition of spaces starting
-- from the beginning of the line, then the second longest...
