When I repeat the above recipe, the result I see is this:

---------------------------------------
int var			  = 2;
int variable_is_kinda_long= 3;
int var_is_less_long	  = 4;
---------------------------------------

When I repeat this recipe, the result is the same as before, i.e., it is
still aligned as above for me.
