Do not insert equal sign if one already

[Johan Andersson]

Well, I used this command mostly to get the equal signs aligned. When you
change a functions arguments, the equal signs will not be aligned anymore.
Then it great to be able to just quickly align them and in that case you
don't want to insert an equal sign.

Maybe the function could be split up into two? One that only aligns and one
that aligns and insert the equal sign.
