Desired Behavior

The rule should not be triggered in lineinfile module calls

My (personal) opinion is that if tabs are required in YAML strings, they should always be escaped as \t, as otherwise it is too likely for them to not be noticed or to accidentally be changed to spaces.

Unless that is not really possible to achieve, I would say this this bug is likely to be sorted by just improving the documentation on this rule.

PS. Kudos for testing with main branch! ;)
