The effect is that when you invoke `C-c C-m pause RET', AUCTeX will ask
for an optional argument and it will be only inserted in square brackets
if you enter something instead of just hitting RET.

Sorry, my bad.  As Keita already pointed out (thanks Keita!), the
default value of this variable is t and inserting a pair of braces is
the default behavior.  I have (setq TeX-insert-braces nil) for such a
long time in my .emacs, it felt like it is the default ;-)

I don't use the config above, but I think it should drop this line:

    (add-to-list 'LaTeX-verbatim-environments "comment")

The style had a fontification bug which is now fixed[1].

You're welcome.  OTOH, you could consider dropping this solution and
setting `TeX-insert-braces' to nil.  Depends on your taste, of course.

Best, Arash
