I didn't.  Jerry E. Dunmire said that.  I said something similar to Kjeld:

It works for ^T, at least in vi version SVR3.1.  Your best bet is typing
three control-Vs in both relevant places:

:map! ^V^V^V<tab> ^V^V^V^T

This is echoed as

:map! ^V	 ^T

Remember to type a <space> after the <tab>.
You'll get the dreaded "missing rhs" message if you forget it.

And yes, this :map! is very useful when you :set shiftwidth to
something other than 8.
