Description

New Issue Checklist
New rule request

Please describe the rule idea, format
this issue's title as Rule Request: equation sign in same column and describe:

  1. Why should this rule be added? Share links to existing discussion about what
    the community thinks about this.

rule will provide better code readability

  1. Provide several examples of what would and wouldn't trigger violations.

this should trigger violation

var first = ""  
var longVariable = ""

this should NOT trigger violation

var first        = ""  
var longVariable = ""
  1. Should the rule be configurable, if so what parameters should be configurable?

probably you should have possibility to set offset threshold to not move short names when one is very very long

  1. Should the rule be opt-in or enabled by default? Why?
    See README.md for guidelines on when to mark a rule as opt-in.

this can be in my opinion enabled by default as it not violates
