My other question about tab-delimited files reminded me to ask about 
this, too.  I frequently want to vertically align text.

E.g. the 'comment's in the following:

create table blah (
   id int primary key auto_increment comment 'autoid',
   info text                         comment 'some text',
   another_value varchar(255)        comment 'another value'
);

Or the '|'s and '\'s in this:

filename is [table].[YYYYmmdd].[###].[type]
             |       |          |     \-- bz2 or xz
             |       |          \-- per-day run identifier
             |       \-- date files generated
             \-- replace underscores with hyphens

Is there a built-in command to roughly: "pad with spaces until the 
cursor is below the next non-whitespace character on the previous line"?  
Or a plugin?  Or will I be writing some vimscript? :-)
