IIUC, bozhidar was requesting that the dots be aligned to the dot above (as
opposed to being indented by only 2 spaces). He didn't say what should
happen if one of the lines has multiple dots in it.

The linked github comment does explicitly request the aligning to the last
dot, but it's the only comment that requests that on a very long discussion
that was largely focused on a different topic (whether or not to use
trailing dots).

Bozhidar, do you have an opinion on this?
