This is obsolete because you might as well use C-j. You can customize this variable. Is that "This is obsolete" really accurate? The direct effect on an interactively used `M-x comment-indent-new-line' might be obsolete, but is this not used by auto-fill-mode? If so, should the docstring not mention this? Assuming this _really_ is obsolete, then why clutter a Custom buffer with it? Sincerely, Luc.
