When I posted it , I wrote:

It's not an exhaustive treatment, because there is not an
exhaustive definition of this kind of alignement. 

When I wrote the code, I supposed that some special commands, like prog2, etc will take CONSTANT symbols as the last parameters, not the first as you write. The constant symbols are special cases. Where in all Emacs do you see a code like that one of which you say here?

First of all look at the code of Emacs. Where, in all thousands of lines of Emacs, do you find a code as you do critique here:

(prog2
    a
 :b
 c
