Yes, it's responsible for the added "  " in front of "This" indeed.  And it
should have been responsible for adding "  " in front of "use ..." as well,
but obviously I missed this part.  Thanks for pointing it out.

The reason I made this change is that when a variable has been made
buffer-local and is obsolete and has an safe-local property, the
docstring is pushed too far back for my taste and becomes difficult to
distinguish from that meta-info.
