[TxMt] Elastic tabstops

[Andreas Wahlin]

It would be nice to get other symbols rather than just =, I smell a  
good JSON cleanup :)
I suppose you change these two lines?
relevant_line_pattern = /^[^=]+=/
column_search_pattern = / *=/

into something .. :/
How'd you change hat to include at least : (semicolon) into the  
pattern matching?
