Would like to be able to align by longest operator

[samloeschen]

Hey there, currently a block like this:

{
    int x = 0;
    y += 1;
    int z = 2; 
}

will align to look like this:

{
    int x   = 0;
    y       += 1;
    int z   = 2;
}

and it would be awesome if there was an option to align/indent by the length of the longest operator, so that it would look like this:

{
    int x   = 0;
    y      += 1;
    int z   = 2;
}

I often have blocks with multiple operators and assignments, and would really love to be able to align them all cleanly.

Sam, that's an interesting idea really. I'd agree that looks and reads better. Maybe I'll get a chance to dive into something like this but I'm pretty preoccupied these days.

I'd love a PR for this. :)

I think this ties into something I'd like, which is to be able to align multiple things on each line, like a csv file

produces:
kilo  , k,10^3,thousand
hecto , h,10^2,hundred
deca  , da,10^1,ten

should be:
kilo  , k  , 10^3 , thousand
hecto , h  , 10^2 , hundred
deca  , da , 10^1 , ten

I'll have a look at making a PR
