The idea is nice, and probably a step in the right direction, but `org-at-table-p' and `org-table-align' are not lightweight functions. In some common situations, e.g., when the table is a bit large, or when it is located away from the start of a section, typing in the table may feel sluggish. Therefore, I wonder if Org should include it unless it is optimized in most situations. As a side note, the table doesn't realign when you add a space in a cell. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
