> "align" in the option name doesn't really convey what's being done. I would say that the term alignment is certainly used in this context (e.g. when speaking about horizontal (center/left/right) or vertical alignment, or in the python string Format Specification Mini-Language). But the issue is that "align" points to what the actual function does in its entirety (left/right/center padding) already? And so is less appropriate for specifying when you do center alignment, how to deal with the odd number of padding characters? "lean_.." instead of "align_.." also sounds good to me -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
