As long as you rely on the tab character to signal the programmer's intent on inserting an elastic tabstop, that's not an issue. In this case, insert a \t in front of the comments on the first two, but not the third line. All three lines could have \t's in front of the equals character so align on it. The other nice thing is that it degraces quite gracefully in non-supporting editors.
