5 years, 6 months ago thank you for noticing that! It would seem though, that in practice quote needs two numbers to continue the sequence ad infinitum. I could write '(tab-stop-list (quote (4))). So theoretically, if I wanted to tab by four spaces, and my tab-width was set to 4. Apparently if you just use 1 or 2 elements instead of 3, it will just use tab-width as the last step.
