Knob to modify dict alignment

[advance512]

PyCharm support the following formatting configuration for dicts:

Original:

{"green": 42, "eggs and ham": -0.0e0}

Dict alignment: align on value

{
    "green":        42,
    "eggs and ham": -0.0e0,
}

Dict alignment: align on colon

{
    "green"       : 42,
    "eggs and ham": -0.0e0,
}

A knob to modify this setting in yapf would be great, and would prevent the yapf / PyCharm style formatting loop I've found myself in.

A knob would be okay. But first tell me more about what this formatting would be like. For instance, if the value is multiline or starts on the line following the key, would the colons still line up?

{
    "green"       :
        this_is_a_very_long_function_name_that_does_not_fit(42, 29, 23)
    "eggs and ham":
        -0.0e0,
}

Yes, they do still line up:

Align on colon:

{
    "green"       :
        this_is_a_very_long_function_name_that_does_not_fit(42, 29, 23)
    "eggs and ham":
        -0.0e0,
}

align on value:

{
    "green":
        this_is_a_very_long_function_name_that_does_not_fit(42, 29, 23)
    "eggs and ham":
        -0.0e0,
}
