This is an extremely long-standing convention. See C-h i m emacs RET i parenthesis in column zero and fontification RET Comment and string fontification (or "syntactic" fontification) relies on analysis of the syntactic structure of the buffer text. For the sake of speed, some modes, including Lisp mode, rely on a special convention: an open-parenthesis or open-brace in the leftmost column always defines the beginning of a defun, and is thus always outside any string or comment. Therefore, you should avoid placing an open-parenthesis or open-brace in the leftmost column, if it is inside a string or comment. See Left Margin Paren, for details. > I believe this bug has consequences for Slime and Paredit. > Slime won't let me evaluate expressions with such a string. > And Paredit is confused. Probably expected behaviour. You could ask the maintainers of those (external) modes about it.
