*raises a hand*

I'd rather preserve structure of Org documents outside of Emacs. So,
`:align-to' is not an option. 

IIUC, I need to replace the closest space from vertical bars with 

  #(" " 0 1 (space :width 1))

This doesn't sound too difficult.

However, could someone provide tests cases so we get it right once and
for all?

Thank you.

Regards,
