What's the point in destroying whitepsace based alignment in the source?

Any line longer than 100 characters makes it harder to read it if you work
on them with several open editor windows.

Normally we try to limit our lines to 80 or if really necessary 100
characters. The lines in this file when it comes to defining these values
is often longer than 120 characters and everytime I work on one of the
values I try to clean them up. I'm not a big fan of these formatted tables
as for example my next commit added one entry to this table and would have
broken partly the formatting as the namespace name is longer than any
exiting one.

If Eike or Kohei disagree with my formatting we can roll it back.

Regards,
Markus
