How to align ToC entries?

[spr]

How can I format the ToC entries from:
1. Overview .................................................. 1
1.1. Section 1 ............................................... 2
1.1.1. Section 1-1 ........................................... 2
1.1.2. Section 1-2 ........................................... 2
1.2. Section 2 ............................................... 3
1.2.1. Section 2-1 ........................................... 3
1.2.2. Section 2-2 ........................................... 3

to: (please see with fixed font to view differences)

1.      Overview ............................................. 1
1.1.    Section 1 ............................................ 2
1.1.1.  Section 1-1 .......................................... 2
1.1.2.  Section 1-2 .......................................... 2
1.2.    Section 2 ............................................ 3
1.2.1.  Section 2-1 .......................................... 3
1.2.2.  Section 2-2 .......................................... 3

Couldn't find any appropriate property at:

There is no parameter that does that, although it would make a good feature
request on SourceForge.  8^)

This is typically done in PDF output using an fo:list-block to create a
side-by-side format.  In the 4th edition of my book, there is an example of
using a list block on section titles (in the body, not the toc).  You could
adapt it to the TOC by using a fo:list-block for each line, using a
consistent value of provisional-distance-between-starts. You would do this
in a customized version of the template named "toc.line" from
fo/autotoc.xsl.
