Operate on each line in region

[Jacob Gerlach <jacobgerlach@gmail.com>]

I am writing a function that will indent each line in a region to justify equals signs:

 foo = 1
 longerfoo = bar

Would become 

       foo = 1
 longerfoo = bar

I believe I understand how to iterate through the lines in a region using either of two methods:

condition on the buffer positions for the start and end of the region:

(defun my-justify (start end)
(interactive 'r')
(while (< (point) end))
...body...
(forward-line 1)))

Narrow the buffer to region and use similar conditioning with (eobp).

I'm wondering if there is a more straightforward way to accomplish this.

Thanks for any suggestions.
