But we often need the #'s to hide from what is scanning the file. OK?
So there should be examples given for when you need #, and when you
don't.
Let's see, also there's long lines for .el's where we use ";" to hide,
"!" is used in .Xresources, etc. etc. I suppose all these would hide
behind a ... `#
;`...
or
....`#
!`...
Untested. Ok, document all this. Perhaps test first.

anyways, my collection of hacks are intended for a small cookbook
section in the Emacs manual.
Document is soon as this topic is about to get boring.
