Works great until one of the values changes in size. Say:
bla = (
....1.0, 1.1, 1.2,
....2.0, 2.1, 2.2,
....3.0, 2.1, 3.2,
)

And one day you have to change '2.1' to '2.09999':
bla = (
....1.0, 1.1, 1.2,
....2.0, 2.09999, 2.2,
....3.0, 2.1, 3.2,
)

If this happens more than once ( or twice, because I'm patient =)),
maintaining the alignment becomes a chore. So I only align columns if I'm
typing a table I know won't change.
