Tabularize

Make lists of assignments and such more readable. This feature is auto enabled while typing for Cucumber/Gherkin style example (using |).

Background:
    Given I have the following recipes:
    | name             | rating |
    | Spaghetti        | 4      |
    | Lasgna Bolognese | 5      |

You can also manually invoke Tabularize:

a = 1
b = 42
test = 512

Visually select, then ,a=:

a    = 1
b    = 42
test = 512

Similarly, using ,a:

a: 1,
b: 42,
test: 512

results in:

a:     1,
b:     42,
test:  512
