Actually have to think about it.

Current solution allows you to see where a tab ends, if it is at the end 
of line (ok, most tabs are at the start of line, or middle).

OpenOffice writer puts the symbol in the middle (centered)
Notepad++ has a continues arrow over the whole tab
eclipse show them at start
