The array is just a different representation of what you can do with the 
individual commands. But you're right, alignment is paragraph-only, you 
can't apply it to tabs. Sigh. And here I'd almost converted you. :(

Back in the olden days when we had no other choice, we'd use a 
monospaced font and add spaces to simulate column alignment. That's not 
so impressive any more, though in some cases it still works.
