The principle he cites is correct -- could you please fix this
and ack?

Subject: bad comment indentation in Emacs Lisp

Put this in Emacs Lisp mode and use `C-M-q' at the beginning:
 
(let (;; foobar
      ;; toto
      (titi...)))
 
You get this:
 
(let ( ;; foobar
      ;; toto
      (titi...)))
 
However, if you just use TAB on each line, you don't get that.
 
To me, this is a bug.  `;;' comments should be aligned just as
TAB would align them, always.  `C-M-q' should be equivalent to
using both TAB and `M-;' on each line of the sexp.

Also, in a situation like the preceding, it is likely that you
want the two comments to line up.
