[texhax] Fill character with halign.

[Philip TAYLOR (Ret'd)]

On thinking more carefully, you might be able
to use something along the lines of the following :

\tabskip = 0 pt plus 1 fil
\def \&{\dotfill \span}
\halign to \hsize
     {&#\cr
     &&\cr
     1st column\&2nd column\&3rd column\cr
     First column\&second column\&third column\cr
     }
\end
