Documentation

If non-nil, used as a heuristic by align-current.

Since each alignment rule can possibly have its own set of alignment sections (whenever align-region-separate is non-nil, and not a string), this heuristic is used to determine how far before and after point we should search in looking for a region separator. Larger values can mean slower performance in large files, although smaller values may cause unexpected behavior at times.
