I leave them alone.  the "lining up" I find just a bit too cutesy,
and if you end up with 1 long name, the rest suffer from too much
whitespace.

Too, if you ADD something with a long name, you have to go back and
re-adjust the existing ones.  

All this, for negligible readability gains.

(All the above IMO, naturally.)
