feature request: make df as pretty as ls -l

[Peter D.]

Hi, 

I have a feature request.  Can the output from "df" be columnated, like the 
output from "ls -l"?  

Having thousands separators is great.  It makes the output from "df ." much 
more human friendly (I have "export BLOCK_SIZE=\'1" in my ~/.bashrc) but 
the ouput of "df" below is not as legible as I would like.

It might look better formatted like this...

Set your mail reader to a fixed width font.  

Some of the entries are insanely long, but it looks better to me.  ;-)
