The value returned by the cond form is the value of the selected cond
clause.  You can use the literals without calling any additional code:

(let ((cm (cond ((eq major-mode 'emacs-lisp-mode) ";;")
                ((eq major-mode 'texinfo-mode)    "@c")
                ...

Remember that `cm' will be nil if nothing was matched.
