50   51   52   53   54   55   56   57   58   59
60   61   62   63   64   65   66   67   68   69
70   71   72   73   74   75   76   77   78   79
80   81   82   83   84   85   86   87   88   89
90   91   92   93   94   95   96   97   98   99
100  101  102  103  104  105  106  107  108  109

Ideally, I'd like to see the numeric columns decimal-aligned, which in this
case would mean right-aligned.

If doing this by default would cause compatibility issues, perhaps
column could provide an option to enable this behavior.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
