annotate BUGS @ 28904:8d91ded5215c

(comment-start, comment-start-skip, comment-end): Made `defvar'. (comment-style): Extract the choice out of comment-styles. (comment-continue): Just a simple string now. (comment-normalize-vars): Update for the new comment-continue. (until, comment-end-quote-re): Removed. (comment-quote-re, comment-quote-nested): New functions for quoting. These quote both the end and the start and also work for single-chars. (comment-padright): Added lots of comments. (comment-padleft): Added more comments. Check comment-end rather than STR to determine whether N can be applied or not. (uncomment-region): Rename BLOCK to BOX. Use the new comment-quote-nested. Use only one marker and properly set it back to nil. Be more picky when eliminating continuation markers.
