In *Editor -&gt; Code Style -&gt; Kotlin*, why isn't there an "Align when multiline" option for *Chained Function Calls*?

There is "Wrap first call," which doesn't seem to do anything.
```foo.toUpperCase()
    .trim()
    .length```
Then "Use continuation indent" which just indents one more unit:
```foo.toUpperCase()
        .trim()
        .length```
Why not "Align when multiline" so the dots line up all pretty?
```foo.toUpperCase()
   .trim()
   .length```

&gt; Use four spaces for indentation. Do not use tabs.
&gt; As a general rule, avoid horizontal alignment of any kind. Renaming an identifier to a name with a different length should not affect the formatting of either the declaration or any of the usages.

&gt; "Renaming an identifier to a name with a different length should not affect the formatting"
That is a really good answer.  Thank you.  I still like what I'm used to, but I'm going to try retraining myself to follow the standard.
