The caller is 'read-char-by-name', and it creates two completion strings
"character1 (\t with :align-to) name1" and "character2 (\t with :align-to) 
name2",
and sends them to 'completion--insert-strings' that adds "\t with :align-to"
as a separator between two columns.

How "character2 (\t with :align-to) name2" could predict the right value
of this 'align-to' if it doesn't know what value of 'align-to' will use
'completion--insert-strings' in its separator?
