Junio's suggestion for this member was "at end"; that is what to do
when you are "at"-the-%(end), not "attend", which isn't meaningful
here. You could also call it 'end_scope', 'finish' or 'close' or
'finalize' or something.

What are these changes about? They appear only to be renaming some
variables which were introduced in patch 3. It would make more sense
to give them the desired names in the patch which introduces them.

The names 'align_handler' and 'align_atom_handler' are confusingly
similar. Perhaps name this end_align() or do_align() or
apply_alignment() or something?

A couple comments:

First, why is 'strbuf aligned' needed? Can't you instead just invoke
strbuf_utf8_align(&return_to->output, ...)?

Second, I realize that Junio suggested the 'return_to' idea, but it
seems like it could become overly painful since each handler of this
sort is going to have to perform the same manipulation to append its
collected output to its parent state's output. What if you instead
make it the responsibility of pop_state() to append the 'output' from
the state being popped to the "prev" state's 'output'? This way, it
happens automatically, thus reducing code in each individual handler,
and reducing the burden of having to keep writing the same code.

I think this strbuf_init() should be the responsibility of
push_new_state(), as mentioned in my patch 3 review, otherwise every
caller of push_new_state() will have to remember to do this.

Who is responsible for freeing this memory?

Shouldn't these be strcmp() rather than starts_with()? You don't want
to match "leftfoot" as "left".

What's this conditional about? Why restore the comma?

Junio's proposal for using handlers[1] is a pretty big change which
would generalize atom processing overall, and which you haven't
implemented here. Instead, your use of handlers is just to avoid
having special-case 'align' and 'end' conditionals spread throughout
several functions. Am I understanding that correctly?

Is the idea to leave that larger change for a later date (and possibly
a different programmer)?

Why does this need to be #included here?
