Using ## for comments that are indented to the code level is the
coding style, with or without Emacs.  But it definitely simplifies
deciding how to indent comments in the Emacs mode depending on whether
they begin with one, two, or three comment characters.

Yes, but then the customizations for the files depend on users
individual settings.  We can delete those if people would prefer to
not have them in the source files.
