Subject: 24.4.50; doc string of `align-newline-and-indent'
Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2014 14:21:59 -0700 (PDT)

Doc string:

  A replacement function for `newline-and-indent', aligning as it goes.

Aligning how?  Aligning what?  With respect to what?

Please spend some time to come up with a description of _what this
function does_.  In addition to indenting, it does some aligning - fine.
Aligning what to what?  How? (I.e., what does "aligning" mean in this
context?)
