I'm OK with the patch, but it makes configuration a bit more difficult
since users should actually know all the alignable keywords. I guess we can
mention `ruby-alignable-keywords' in the docstring
of `ruby-align-to-stmt-keywords' and consider this a good enough hint for
the users. One problem with the current implementation is that it won't
play nice with assignments if you won't to treat them differently:

x = def something
  ala
  bala
end

There won't be a way to get this indentations at the same time:

private def something
  ala
  bala
end

and

x = def something
        ala
        bala
      end

I think that it might make sense to support a different def alignment for
`def` after `private`, `protected`, `public` regardless of the
`ruby-align-to-stmt-keywords' value. What I'm saying is that some people
might prefer to align `def` with a statement beginning only with access
modifier methods. Of course, it seems unlikely that someone will assign the
value of a method def to a variable, but in the future a method definition
in MRI, but it makes sense in Rubinius for instance.
