Comment alignment when `spaces_before_comment` is a list

[01tot10]

Hey all!

I've just started using yapf with hopes for making easier the burden of code-cleanup.

I very much like the aesthetics of aligned comments when it comes to blocks of code, but having a list of values in spaces_before_comment kinda creates problems when I have blocks with comments on the side, as well as commented out lines.

I can imagine comments and commented out lines within a block are hard to distinguish programmatically, but is there something in yapf that would allow for not having the problem, where:

from torch.utils.data import DataLoader # this is an important comment
import numpy as np
# import torch
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# import sounddevice as sd
# import os
# import torchaudio

gets corrected to:

from torch.utils.data import DataLoader # this is an important comment
import numpy as np
                                        # import torch
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
                                        # import sounddevice as sd
                                        # import os
                                        # import torchaudio

Thank you in advance!

Hi, check out my pull request at https://github.com/google/yapf/pull/1022, a knob added to choose not to align newline comments with inline comments.
