## stream-advance-to-column

Arguments: stream column

Writes enough blank space so that the next character will be written at the specified column. Returns true if the operation is successful, or `nil` if it is not supported for stream. This is intended for use by the pretty printer and format ~T. The default method uses stream-line-column and repeated calls to stream-write-char with a #\space character; it returns `nil` if stream-line-column returns `nil`.

See also streams.htm for general information on streams in Allegro CL.
