#1527: [program_options] Second (and subsequent) lines in tabbed text not aligned
correctly

 Reporter:  anonymous      |       Owner:  vladimir_prus  
     Type:  Bugs           |      Status:  new            
Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0   |   Component:  program_options
  Version:  Boost 1.34.1   |    Severity:  Cosmetic       
 Keywords:  wrapping wrap  |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 When using the tab character to set an alignment for text output, the
 second (and subsequent) lines are not displayed at the correct position.

 It appears that the number of characters between the newline (\n) and tab
 (\t) are not accounted for.

 Example:

 {{{
     boost::program_options::options_description options("Options");
     options.add_options()
         ("help", "help text")
         ("list",
          "a list:\n      \t"
              "item1, item2, item3, item4, item5, item6, item7, item8,
 item9, "
              "item10, item11, item12, item13, item14, item15, item16,
 item17, item18")
     ;

     std::cout << options << std::endl;
 }}}
