Unfortunately, it no longer works with current slime.

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function common-lisp-run-indentation-tests)

I can't find a definition of common-lisp-run-indentation-tests anywhere
in slime's code.

Both your patch and indent-region do not indent comments that occur
after code.  But I don't think doing this indentation is a bug, rather,
slime should change `comment-indent-function' and/or
`comment-insert-comment-function' so that comments will be indented in
the way it expects.

I think this would only indent comments starting at the beginning of the
line, which never need to be indented anyway...
