The comment was not about "it may not be obvious but this tries to pad and align", but to say "the way this tries to pad and align is based on an unsaid assumption that leads to this limitation". I do agree it is a good idea to rename it to a name that has 'pad' or 'align' in addition to 'unique', but I doubt renaming alone would reduce the need for the new comment.
