[r6rs-discuss] [Formal] #;<datum> comments useless

[Trent Buck]

I've thought some more about how I use sexpr comments, and I agree
that

    - I tend to use it during the write-test-debug cycle; and

    - I use it because it's faster than line (or block) comments.

I stand by my observation that sexpr comments allows the editor to
provide Scheme mode (rather than text mode) bindings within the sexpr
(e.g. having the ( key insert both open and close parens), but I
concede that this is not a feature I find especially useful.

FYI, in my environment (CVS GNU Emacs with paredit 20b), here are the
keystrokes required to comment a sexpr:
