Then using `M-i' (M-x tab-to-tab-stop) might help.
Setting `tab-always-indent' to `nil' isn't very useful here because this
variable has no effect when the point is at the beginning of the line.
Maybe this variable could accept a value of 'never, meaning that it
should never indent relatively, even when the point is at the beginning
of the line?
BTW, the docstring of `tab-always-indent' does not mention 'always, even
customizing `tab-always-indent' offers this as an option.
