Isn't it sort of nice that the user can put point at the "S" here
Several possibilities:
* ‘xxx’ - yyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyy
* ‘yyy’ - zzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz
and then hit `C-n' without having the cursor jump from column 0 to
column 4? Neither way seems obviously better to me.
Also, does the user care about trailing whitespace here?
