Align assembly?

[pozix604]

A lot of assembly listings align instruction operands to aid in reading. For example:

        and r8d, -86
        imul r8, rax
        or r8, r9
        and r8, rcx
        movzx r9d, byte ptr [rdi + rsi + 6]
        mov r10d, r9d
        and r10d, 85
        imul r10, rax

to

        and      r8d, -86
        imul     r8, rax
        or       r8, r9
        and      r8, rcx
        movzx    r9d, byte ptr [rdi + rsi + 6]
        mov      r10d, r9d
        and      r10d, 85
        imul     r10, rax

I'd like to suggest a feature enhancement to align operands via an option, e.g. --align.

I thought about it. This only works for instructions that are one word long, but there are instructions that go with prefixes:

lock inc word [edi + r10d*4] 

or

rep stosb

Those should be aligned to the second space if present at all...

I've made the following change for myself. Works okay for me.
