acceptable.
Hello,

how can you align space-separated sequences of characters in source code,
without breaking strings?

For instance, this code:

(autoload #'command "library" "A command." t)
(autoload #'another-command "library" "Another Command" t)

Should be aligned as:

(autoload #'command         "library" "A command."       t)
(autoload #'another-command "library" "Another command." t)

Instead of:

(autoload #'command         "library" "A       command." t)
(autoload #'another-command "library" "Another command." t)

Handling of escaped quotes inside strings would be a plus.

Thank you.
