So what you're really asking for is an option for
suppressing trailing zeroes after a decimal point
(and replacing them with spaces).

That makes sense, although I think calling it
"decimal align" would be confusing. It confused
me, because I was thinking of what this means in
a word processor, where you're aligning decimal
points with some predetermined absolute position.
