 For the most part. I think we should keep the alignment icons grouped
 together, whichever row they end up. Also against removing font color
 based on the last time we tried to remove it. From what I remember, we
 removed it in a major release and then re-introduced it in a subsequent
 point release because it caused significant confusion and uproar.
