It's practically not possible to review a 300k line change. And perhaps I'm
paranoid, but I would have a problem with a commit in the history that's
practically not reviewable.

I strongly dislike it, I rarely get it right by hand - but it does have some
benefit over aligning variable names based on the length of the type names as
uncrustify/clang-format: In their approach an added local variable can cause
all the other variables to be re-indented (and their initial value possibly
wrapped). The fixed alignment doesn't have that issue.

Personally I think the cost of trying to align local variable names is way way
higher than the benefit.
