Turning this on would also have the effect that e.g.

> void f() {
>     statement1(); // lengthy comment comment comment comment comment comment comment comment comment
>      // comment comment comment comment comment comment
>     statement2();

would be formatted (due to the extra -- probably unwanted -- space) as

> void f() {
>     statement1(); // lengthy comment comment comment comment comment comment comment comment comment
>                   // comment comment comment comment comment comment
>     statement2();
> }

which might be misleading as well. So leaving at as-is has some
benefits, I think.

Regards,

Miklos
