 @kindex C-u TAB
   If you like the relative indentation within a grouping, but not the
 indentation of its first line, you can type @kbd{C-u @key{TAB}} to
-reindent the whole grouping as a rigid unit.  @key{TAB} with a numeric
-argument reindents the current line as usual, then reindents by the
-same amount all the lines in the parenthetical grouping starting on
-the current line.  It is clever, though, and does not alter lines that
-start inside strings, or C preprocessor lines when in C mode.

   Another way to specify the range to be reindented is with the region.
