;;; Commentary:
;; - single-char nestable comment-start can only do the "\\s<+" stuff
;; if the corresponding closing marker happens to be right.
;; - comment-box in TeXinfo generate bogus comments @ccccc@
-;; - the code assumes that bol is outside of any comment/string.
;; - uncomment-region with a numeric argument can render multichar
;; comment markers invalid.
-;; - comment-box in C with a numeric argument generates wrong end-of-line
-;; continuation markers.
+;; - comment-indent or comment-region when called inside a comment
+;; will happily break the surrounding comment.
+;; - comment-quote-nested will not (un)quote properly all nested comment
+;; markers if there are more than just comment-start and comment-end.
+;; For example, in Pascal where {...*) and (*...} are possible.
;;; Todo:
;; - uncomment-region with a consp (for blocks) or somehow make the
;; deletion of continuation markers less dangerous
;; - drop block-comment-<foo> unless it's really used
-;; - uncomment-region on a part of a comment
-;; - obey the numarg of uncomment-region for continuation markers
+;; - uncomment-region on a subpart of a comment
;; - support gnu-style "multi-line with space in continue"
-;; - document string-strip
-;; - better document comment-continue (and probably turn it into a
-;; simple string).
-;; - don't overwrite comment-padding.
-;; - better document comment-end-quote. Probably make it better
-;; self-sufficient so that other quoting can be used.
-;; - comment the padright/padleft.
;; - somehow allow comment-dwim to use the region even if transient-mark-mode
;; is not turned on.
-;; - document comment-region-internal
-;; - comment-quote-nested should quote both the start and end of comment.
