title: Standard ML comment formatting is faulty in vim
body: <p>I have tried the following commands for formatting comments in <code>~/.vim/after/indent/sml.vim</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>set comments=s1:(*,mb:*,ex:*)
  set comments=sr:(*,mb:*,ex:*)
  set comments=s1:(*,mb:\ *,ex:*)
  set comments=sr:(*,mb:*,ex:*)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and so on with various combinations. I simply cannot seem to achieve C-style commenting where the middle comment line is indent by 1 space. Instead of this</p>
  
  <pre><code>(* Text
   * More text
   * even more text *)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this</p>
  
  <pre><code>(*
  * Some misaligned text
  * etc. *)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any suggestions? <code>:h format-options comments fo-table</code> don't suggest any alternatives that seem useful.</p>
