-There is no predefined rule to handle this, but you could easily do it
-using a REGEXP like \"(\".  Interactively, all you would have to do is
-to mark the region, call `align-regexp' and enter that regular expression.
-
-REGEXP must contain at least one parenthesized subexpression, typically
-whitespace of the form \"\\\\(\\\\s-*\\\\)\".  In normal interactive use,
-this is automatically added to the start of your regular expression after
-you enter it.  You only need to supply the characters to be lined up, and
-any preceding whitespace is replaced.
-
-If you specify a prefix argument (or use this function non-interactively),
-you must enter the full regular expression, including the subexpression.
-The function also then prompts for which subexpression parenthesis GROUP
-\(default 1) within REGEXP to modify, the amount of SPACING (default
-`align-default-spacing') to use, and whether or not to REPEAT the rule
-throughout the line.
