Regrettably, I don't see a clean answer here with the current API. The fundamental problem is that a TabWriter
is coupled to io::Write
---which supports arbitrary bytes---where as the Display
infrastructure is a "purer" world that only supports UTF-8.
I guess the ideal API here would permit one to create a TabWriter
that wraps a std::fmt::Write
instead of a std::io::Write
. Then I think you'd just need to do let f = TabWriter::new(f);
and then things would be pretty natural from there.
The problem is that TabWriter
as it exists today is wedded to std::io::Write
.
Probably the right way to do this is to create a TabWriterBuilder
that has from_io
and from_fmt
constructors. They would both produce a TabWriter<W>
, but the former would have W: io::Write
where as the latter would have W: fmt::Write
. The TabWriter
would then implement io::Write
and fmt::Write
itself as appropriate.
Unfortunately, that feels like a "tabwriter 2" kind of thing to me. I personally doubt I'll do that unless I run into the same use case as you. :-)

Thanks much for looking at this, and for the clear explanation. Mostly just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious.
