### Concept of _alignment rule_
> Simple things should be simple,
> complex things should be possible.

Forget about writing regular expressions every time you do an alignment.
You can do so (we'll see), but I don't believe that it should be the default
way of doing things with this plugin.
An *alignment rule* is a predefined set of options for common alignment tasks,
which is indexed by a single character, *DELIMITER_KEY*. By default, you have
rules indexed by `<space>`, `=`, `:`, `.`, `|`, and `,`, which should cover the
most of the use cases. You can override these rules, and add your own rules.
