IntelliJ IDEA Knows How to Format Spock where: Blocks

IntelliJ IDEA keeps amazing me. Last week I learned the code formatter of IntelliJ IDEA 12 supports Spock specific where: block formatting. Spock has great a great feature called data tables. We can define a fixed set of data values in a table-like format where cells are separated with pipe (|) symbols. These tables are easiest to read if formatted in fixed size columns. The IntelliJ IDEA formatter will do this for us automatically.

Look at the following source code with a data table just typed with pipe symbols as separators, but not clearly formatted in fixed size columns:

If we run the code reformat command with Cmd+Alt+L (Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Alt+L) or use the menu option Code | Reformat Code... we get a dialog and select Run button to format the code:

The result is that our data table in the where: block is now correctly formatted:
