The you have a different definition of "nice alignment" to me. All
the code I write is indented a whole number of tabs. If you think
you need to pad things with extra spaces, then there's nothing more
I can say.

Personally, I indent continuation lines an extra two tabs from the
previous line, and naturally I avoid nastinesses like trying to line
up function arguments with the opening parenthesis. But I guess
there's no accounting for taste :-)
