In using SliTex, I often write things like the following:

\begin{tabbing}
This \= is truly \\
\>	a beautiful day \\[.25in]
\>	{\bf Yesterday,} \= however\\
\>	\>	was rotten
\end{tabbing}

Of course, when I edit things I have to change all the \\ and \>.  I'd
like to be able to define an environment in which end of line
meant \\, end of line followed by a blank line meant
\\[.25], and tab meant \>.  Furthermore, the last end of line in the
environment should simply be eaten, and not turned into a \\.
Then I could simply write

\begin{simpletabbing}
This \= is truly
	a beautiful day

	{\bf Yesterday,} \= however
		was rotten
\end{simpletabbing}

Has someone already created such an environment, or something
similar?  (Please email as well as post responses).
