My intuition says (a). If you have tabbed from A to C to D and finally
to B, and you "want to go back one tab stop", "D" is where you just came
from, so "D" is where you go back to. Two Shift-TABs in a row take you
two tab stops back to C, and so on.
Is this issue that Shift-TAB takes you back one step vs. that it
completely rewinds to the beginning?
