"Prettify all columns..." is unclear. The behavior - what the commands do - is not described at all. And there is nothing in any manual about these commands either. Users are forced to consult the code to have any idea of what this "delimit columns" stuff is all about. Please do the Emacs thing for these commands: document them for users.
