Formatting option to columnize not only column names but data-types and nullability as well
Some of us would like the option for formatting of table declarations to not only align [tabify] column names (indented one tab), but also columnize/tabify the data types and nullability so that table definitions are grid-like. Constraints per column are are far more variable and therefore require more of a free format or sometimes pushing them to subsequent lines, but at minimum, the ColumnName, DataType and Nullability should be optioned to columnize by default.
When there are hundreds or thousands of tables in a db schema, I'm used to scanning table definitions, and having them organized grid-like saves my eyeballs time and frustration. I realize not everyone organizes table schema in this way, but I manually format every table definition this way where I am allowed.

I could've sworn it does this already? This is from 2020 so probably it didn't used to. I'm wondering if support reads these ever, since there not being cleaned up.
I'm at 10.11.4.26759 in Feb 2022.
