It does appear to work, though I found it slightly unintuitive at first
that line X+1 affects indent at line X, I understand why, so I think
this is fine.  Thank you so much!

It may be wise to drop in some tests of both leading and non-leading
comments.  This should prevent future regressions.

That is unfortunate.  I didn't quite follow the thread where you
announced the departure (sorry, I'm sure you can understand, I'm quite
busy still..).

That is a massive loss for Emacs.  Hopefully they at least pull CC-mode
changes.

Thank you once again, have a lovely day!
