I still don't think I understand that. The caller is 'read-char-by-name', and it creates two completion strings "character1 (\t with :align-to) name1" and "character2 (\t with :align-to) name2", and sends them to 'completion--insert-strings' that adds "\t with :align-to" as a separator between two columns. How "character2 (\t with :align-to) name2" could predict the right value of this 'align-to' if it doesn't know what value of 'align-to' will use 'completion--insert-strings' in its separator?
