This is exactly what I was imagining, I just didn't know it.
In any case, align-regexp seems to be the most straightforward of all, since it seems to be able to do exactly what I need. I haven't worked out the syntax yet to insert the white space at the beginning of the line instead of after the text ('foo' or 'longerfoo'), but I'm working on that part!
