Actually, I was just talking about the case of context-sensitive
aligning to the exact pixel position of a character on a previous line.
Such as the variable clauses in a `let' form in Lisp, or aligning
arguments to a function that are on different lines. Incrementing
indentation won't change anything there.

Whether it matters or not, I don't know. I'd like to have a function to
determin the pixel position of a character just so I could test whether
I like it or not.
