+* `:align-bindings-args` -
+  a map of var symbols to arguments positions that require binding alignment
+  i.e. `{symbol #{1 2}`. Argument positions start at 0.
+  See the next section for a detailed explanation.
+
+  Unqualified symbols in the indents map will apply to any symbol with a
+  matching "name" - so `foo` would apply to both `org.me/foo` and
+  `com.them/foo`. If you want finer-grained control, you can use a fully
+  qualified symbol in the align-bindings-args map to configure binding alignment that
+  applies only to `org.me/foo`:
+
+  ```clojure
+  :cljfmt {:align-bindings-args {org.me/foo #{2 3}}
+  ```
+
+  Configured this way, `org.me/foo` will align only argument positions 2 3 (starting from 0).
+
+  Note that `cljfmt` currently doesn't resolve symbols brought into a
+  namespace using `:refer` or `:use` - they can only be controlled by an
+  unqualified align rule.
+
+  As with Leiningen profiles, you can add metadata hints. If you want to
+  override all existing aligns, instead of just supplying new aligns
+  that are merged with the defaults, you can use the `:replace` hint:
+
+  ```clojure
+  :cljfmt {:align-bindings-args ^:replace {#".*" #{0}}
+  ```
+
 * `:alias-map` -
   a map of namespace alias strings to fully qualified namespace
   names. This option is unnecessary in almost all cases, because
