Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 16:18:17 +0800

Just to clarify,

I am not asking that exactly the syntax of srfi-62 as it is be added.
(Although Emacs Lisp already uses #'symbol as a reader-syntax switch,
so I suspect that it is possible)
I am asking for _some_ syntax to comment out valid sexps, whichever
fits Emacs Lisp most.
