Hi Leo,

thanks for this.

I am off for a one-week vacation now - I will look at this patch when I com back.

Hello Carsten,

Setting a comment starter without a corresponding comment ender is
problematic and the # creeps in mysteriously under auto-fill. For
example, in my current running emacs, this happens almost certainly in
all org files that has # in their header. The only (temporary) solution
seems to reboot emacs (which is painful and disruptive).

If you try eval (forward-comment 1) at the beginning of an org file that
has some "#+..." it will move to the end of file (the whole file is
regarded as one single comment). So when auto-fill a long text, it will
find the common prefix to be #.

In addition, I don't think org mode has clear comment syntax or ideas on
what to do with it.

I can't see any gain from (modify-syntax-entry ?# "<") so I am proposing
removing it entirely and get rid of this mysterious and annoying bug
once and for all.

The attached patch may (though I think it is quite safe) cause some bugs
but those will be fixable unlike the one mentioned above.

Best wishes,

Leo
