Description

My swift files are formatted using AppCode and tabs. Therefore only a few spaces are added automatically when necessary:

private func snap(label: UILabel,
				  below otherView: UIView,
				  offsetBy value: CGFloat) -> [NSLayoutConstraintInterface] {

In Xcode, AppCode and SublimeText these labels are aligned. Tab and ident width is 4.

SwiftLint version: 0.18.1
If I'm not mistaken, GitHub uses a tab width of 8.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the vertical parameter alignment rule and its existing tests, then reproduce the Swift example with tabs and a tab width of 4. Done means the rule recognizes the labels as aligned without incorrectly requiring spaces.
