How could I not have thought of this!  But yes, when I set `indent-tabs-mode' to `t' *before* pasting the function definition, and then run "type tawk" in terminal buffer and move point in line mode onto the tab character, `C-x =' says correctly that point is on TAB.

I had `indent-tabs-mode' set to `nil' globally in my init.el; now I see that it is a good idea to leave `indent-tabs-mode' to `t' in terminal mode.

I have no more questions.  Thank you.
