Thanks for pointing out the inconsistency. "Indentation"
refers to whitespace at the start of a line; thus, in general,
comments are aligned, not indented, but comments that do not
follow code may be described as "indented". I've corrected
the text to follow that rule.
The command name comment-indent should really be comment-align, and
the variable names c-indent-comment-alist,
c-indent-comments-syntactically-p, and comment-indent-function really
ought to say "align" instead of "indent". Perhaps we should make
new aliases for them.
