Todd Miller added this feature very recently to OpenBSD's nvi:

| Add an expandtab option, similar to what vim supports.
| If set, expands tabs to spaces in insert mode as well as when
| shifting and indenting/outdenting.  If quoted with ^V, a literal
| tab is inserted.  Adapted from NetBSD, but this implementation
