Description
I made the below feature request in the vscode-powershell extension git and was enlightened that this functionality originate from the PSScriptAnalyzer module. https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/issues/1385
I would love to see an option to allow alignment of assignmentgroups. Its easiest to show what I mean with an example. (Github wouldn't allow me to format the code manually and trimmed the whitespaces automatically so I had to attach a printscreen).
So that '=' are aligned in columns within a group of assignments. A group could be interpreted as delimitered with a blank line.

Research direction
Start with the linked vscode-powershell request and the attached assignment example to confirm the intended grouping and alignment behavior. The payload names no files or tests, so locate the relevant PSScriptAnalyzer formatter or analyzer entry point and define completion as aligned assignment operators within each blank-line-delimited group.
