Yes, it is for indenting these kind of comments.

It depends on your definition of "significant", but GNU Bison sometimes 
uses it (example: 
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bison.git/tree/src/getargs.c#n171>).
However I don't know if it is more widely used, if some convention exist 
or if pretty much everyone has his own style.

It could be more annoying than helpful if it messes with your personal 
style, though.

In any case I won't be able to contribute for a while, as I recently 
moved to a new company. They never did copyright assignment and they are 
quite fussy (understandably) on copyright issues.
