[texhax] aligning array columns at bottom rather than top vertically

Hi!

With \begin{array} top & top \end{array} where top is typeset on the 
top of each row. Sometimes I have two rules like


              premise
  ---         -------
  something   conclusion

and here I want the first column to be aligned so that the ruler --- is 
in line with the ruler -------. Therefore I want array to fill the 
first column with all possible vertical space. However, just adding 
\vfill before the text in that column does not work, and I do not like 
the b{5cm} option because b, as documented in LaTeX Companien 2nd Ed, 
requires the width to be explicitly specified (don't ask me why!).

P.S. I have had problems with the multicols package and now want to use 
array instead.
