29 ;; A replacement for simple.el's comment-related functions.
33 ;; - single-char nestable comment-start can only do the "\\s<+" stuff
34 ;; if the corresponding closing marker happens to be right.
35 ;; - comment-box in TeXinfo generate bogus comments @ccccc@
36 ;; - uncomment-region with a numeric argument can render multichar
37 ;; comment markers invalid.
38 ;; - comment-indent or comment-region when called inside a comment
39 ;; will happily break the surrounding comment.
40 ;; - comment-quote-nested will not (un)quote properly all nested comment
41 ;; markers if there are more than just comment-start and comment-end.
42 ;; For example, in Pascal where {...*) and (*...} are possible.
46 ;; - quantized steps in comment-alignment
47 ;; - try to align tail comments
48 ;; - check what c-comment-line-break-function has to say
49 ;; - spill auto-fill of comments onto the end of the next line
50 ;; - uncomment-region with a consp (for blocks) or somehow make the
51 ;; deletion of continuation markers less dangerous
52 ;; - drop block-comment-<foo> unless it's really used
53 ;; - uncomment-region on a subpart of a comment
54 ;; - support gnu-style "multi-line with space in continue"
55 ;; - somehow allow comment-dwim to use the region even if transient-mark-mode
58 ;; - when auto-filling a comment, try to move the comment to the left
59 ;; rather than break it (if possible).
60 ;; - sometimes default the comment-column to the same
61 ;; one used on the preceding line(s).
