Why is it ever necessary to use ";;;" for commenting out lisp code?
Other modes (e.g. c-mode and c++-mode) simply add comment markers
indented as if they were source code (apparently using the minimum
indentation of the commented-out lines); couldn't lisp-mode do the the
same thing using ";;" all cases?
[It's not that I object or anything, it's just that I'm confused as to
why there's so much fiddling around with comment-region in the specific
case of lisp-mode. I assume there must be _some_ reason, as
newcomment.el seem to go to a lot of trouble to do this...]
