25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; A replacement for simple.el's comment-related functions.
29 ;;; Bugs:
31 ;; - boxed comments in Perl are not properly uncommented because they are
32 ;; uncommented one-line at a time.
33 ;; - nested comments in sgml-mode are not properly quoted.
34 ;; - single-char nestable comment-start can only do the "\\s<+" stuff
35 ;; if the corresponding closing marker happens to be right.
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.
44 ;;; Todo:
46 ;; - rebox.el-style refill.
47 ;; - quantized steps in comment-alignment.
48 ;; - try to align tail comments.
49 ;; - check what c-comment-line-break-function has to say.
50 ;; - spill auto-fill of comments onto the end of the next line.
51 ;; - uncomment-region with a consp (for blocks) or somehow make the
52 ;; deletion of continuation markers less dangerous.
53 ;; - drop block-comment-<foo> unless it's really used.
54 ;; - uncomment-region on a subpart of a comment.
55 ;; - support gnu-style "multi-line with space in continue".
56 ;; - somehow allow comment-dwim to use the region even if transient-mark-mode
57 ;; is not turned on.
59 ;; - when auto-filling a comment, try to move the comment to the left
60 ;; rather than break it (if possible).
61 ;; - sometimes default the comment-column to the same
62 ;; one used on the preceding line(s).
