Comment (by mojca@…):

 I didn't spot any problem so far, so I think that the current solution
 could easily be used.

 Just curious: would the solution be any less "hacky" if
 {{{
 p5-acme-lolcat 0.0.5_4
 }}}
 was replaced by
 {{{
 p5 acme-lolcat 0.0.5_4
 }}}
 where `p5` would be a function accepting two or more arguments as opposed
 to having every unknown command to behave as a command? Or maybe
 {{{
 p p5-acme-lolcat 0.0.5_4
 }}}
 if `switch` and alike cause problems in such constructs.

 I don't care that much how the aligning is done. Once again: my idea was
 to fill this once and then keep it that way for a year until the contents
 might be removed. So I wouldn't care if the file wasn't "super-readable".

 Personally I don't particularly like the tabs, in particular because the
 rest of the file uses spaces aligned to 4. (I also didn't yet figure out
 how to train my editor to obey the modeline. If I set the tabs to 8, the
 same setting will be used on every `Portfile` until changed and vice
 versa.)
