If -align=false and -spaces=true are used together, the spaces flag is overridden and
tabs are used.

Comment 3:

In RawFormat mode, the go/printer output is not run through the tabwriter at all and
thus the -spaces flag is not 
even looked at. Thus it does operate as originally intended, however the documentation
is incorrect; but possibly 
the original intent should be changed. Thinking about this.

Comment 5:

Making gofmt do "the right thing" with -spaces and -align=false does not make much
sense: The output in the -
align=false mode is the input intended for the tabwriter package. It is neither aligned
nor misaligned, and it is 
only reasonably readable because go/printer removes control characters (such as '\v' and
'\f' intended to drive 
the tabwriter) from the output stream.

Comment 6 by jankassens:

If align=false is considered a private flag, I think it should be removed or marked as
such.
