Notice that the dashed lines go all the way to the right margin of my
80-column terminal window, even though the data requires no more than
22 columns. While this doesn't look so awful as-is, when I'm working
in a very wide window it starts to look a little silly.
The behavior I'd have expected is that if the data is narrower than
the window, the lines only go to the right margin of the data. This
is a trivial change to the logic in print_aligned_vertical, but before
I go make it, does anyone want to argue that the current behavior is
preferable to that?
