Hm, that's a good point... alignment with tabs enabled certainly doesn't make 
any sense without mixed mode, it will break in the worst possible ways.
I'm curious what the more involved people think about this :)

My personal opinion is that alignment doesn't work in most cases because the 
upcoming lines it start so far right that you soon have to break again with 
just a bit more code. I tend to indent my own multi-line-arguments code using 
only one tab, like this:

function( longParameter,
<tab>probably, even, more, parameters
);

...but of course, that's just me, and I don't assume that the call for proper 
alignment behaviour will go away quickly. (And neither will the code that is 
already formatted this way.)
