I have a certain stylistic rule regarding how function calls are written in my code, and that rule is more important than such alignment. Adding spaces where I don't expect them to be slows down my visual parsing of the code. Generally in my code I've found that such kind of alignment is a waste of my time, if I change something I may need to waste time realigning things.
