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