It's not, because there does not exist an editor that is smart enough to recognize that these 4 spaces are indentation tabs while these 4 spaces are spacing spaces. It's not impossible, but show me an editor that does it today (especially with C++) and I'll eat my hat :D
I agree with you that if you're using actual tabs for indentation it works fine.
