I have installed the Tabular plugin, which works very well for me, as long as there are no complicated regexes involved…

But I have this list :

one @abc @rstuvw &foo  
three @defg &bar 
four @mn @opq &kludge &hack  
twelve @hijkl &baz &quux

I wish to align it that way (on @… first, then on &…) :

one    @abc @rstuvw &foo  
three  @defg        &bar 
four   @mn @opq     &kludge &hack  
twelve @hijkl       &baz &quux

which means I have 3 problems at the same time :

align on the first occurrence
of 2 different delimiters (@ and &)
which are not really delimiters but "special characters" at the beginning of Words

This is far beyond my understanding of both regexes and Tabular.vim

How should I proceed ?
