You have it easy. You're mainly concerned with nice line breaks.
Consider if you were formatting a plain text table and needed
to have a view of *column* positions. That's where you start
renaming all your variables to exactly 4 letters so you can check
that things line up vertically .. :)

I have this kind of problem (vaguely) in Felix and the only
solution I found was "suck it and see".
