You would probably have to code this yourself in either vimscript or one of
the plugin languages, so that opening a new line (either with "o" or ENTER
at the end of an existing line) would literally copy the existing line.  I
would expect that would be possible, I've definitely abused vim in ways
that are well beyond just simple macros.

So, if it's important to you, you might be able to do that.  Maybe the
easiest would be to have a macro that runs that just sets expandtab based
on whether the current line has tabs in the beginning or not.
