Option to align equals signs

[razzius]

I would find it useful to be able to align equals signs by padding them with spaces.

For example

filter p (x:xs)
    | p x = x : filter p xs
    | otherwise = filter p xs

would become

filter p (x:xs)
    | p x       = x : filter p xs
    | otherwise = filter p xs

Is there any plan to add functionality of align "=" like this?

It wouldn't be very hard to implement, but it sort of depends on a check that the new code won't exceed the max column length.
