+tal is a filter that reads in lines from standard input. The lines are sent to
+standard output with common trailing characters aligned so that they all begin
+and end on the same column of text. This can be used to repair 'broken boxes'
+or align the backslashes on long macro definitions in C programs. But tal will
+work on any kind of common ending and is especially useful as a filter for the
+vim text editor.
