  "colon"      : [0, 1], // The first number specify how much space to add to the left, can be negative.
                         // The second number is how much space to the right, can be negative.
  "assignment" : [1, 1], // The same as above.
  "arrow"      : [1, 1], // The same as above.
  "comment"    : 2       // Special how much space to add between the trailing comment and the code.
                         // If this value is negative, it means don't align the trailing comment.
