I know!—you think—I'll simply measure the width of those unicode characters, that way everything will be aligned!

Little did you know...

It is a screenshot of the macOS application DaisyDisk showing how the partition, the distribution of files and directories inside of my documentation folder, i.e. the output of cargo doc. We have in number one regex underscore syntax and right underneath in the second position we have unicode underscore width at 5.5 megabytes, which is about 5.4 megabytes more than I expected it to be.
