<pre>The \t as a replacement seems does work. Except...
It seems like using the very common "^$" regex match of an empty paragraph puts
the search into a mode where the \t does not get parsed.
That makes Finding an empty string paragraph as target, and replacing with a
string containing a \t <Tab> rather hard.</pre>
