Hmm, we could change tab to detect if the line is already indented 
properly and if the cursor is in a comment to indent the text to match 
the last line in the comment.  This would act the same way as tab in 
triple quoted, multiline string acts.

Ctrl-Tab would remain the same since there is occasionally a need to 
enter a real tab character (in makefiles, for example).
