Hi Sébastien,

very interesting, thanks a lot.

As per chance exists a framework for just that kind of
stuff, created a new class of functions `equalize'
inside.

Maybe have a look at

thing-at-point-utils.el
at
https://code.launchpad.net/s-x-emacs-werkstatt/

Maybe try

ar-equalize-alnum-atpt or
ar-equalize-symbol-atpt

Many more related commands exists.

For your special needs that might be overkill. OTOH,
should be more repeated editing remain around org-mode,
we could reflect to single out some special org-mode
editing tools from.

Andreas
