"Think of", no. But I can make one up, if you want ;-)
BTW, the new code still will fail to match the ";hello" comment in
foo\\;hello
Maybe we should use narrow-to-region to get the ^ part of the regexp to
match at point.

Admittedly, I'm not sure how to handle the more general case where
comment-start-skip uses sub-group 1 for something more significant than
to rule out an escape char.
