Indenting of comments in emacs-lisp mode

Emacs-lisp mode indents comments based on the number of semi-colons prefixing them.
One semi-colon indents to column 40.
Two semi-colons indent to the same level as the block you are in.
Three semi-colons indent to wherever you place it and don’t move if you press <TAB>
