I think comments look better when the delimiters appear in a slightly
more washed-out color. Having the delimiters and text in completely
different colors is just distracting, but I find a slight difference
in color actually helps me focus on the text.
It's not a big deal, but I just wanted to mention that while the
current implementation may be lacking, I don't think there's anything
wrong with the idea. (Though as Richard has been saying, it would be
cleaner to instead add `font-lock-comment-text-face'.)
I don't think the feature is trivial, and it is currently very rough.
For example, it would be nice to have comments such as the following
be fontified in the expected way:
/*
* foobarbaz.c --- do that stuff with the thing
*
* This file is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
* it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published
* by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License,
* or (at your option) any later version.
*
* [...]
*/
I understand the people who think that the best thing to do for now is
to rename the face to refer to mail specifically and ``stop the
madness about comment delimiters,'' as Stefan put it. This feature
can wait until after the release.
