FWIW, I for one would appreciate SRFI-62 style comments.  I often find
myself commenting out otherwise valid sexps, and the added convenience
would be nice.  Just today I had a debugging session where they would
have definitely made things a bit more comfortable, especially given
that they nest easily.

That said, I won't exactly bring out the torches and pitchforks if the
proposal gets rejected.

(I don't have enough experience with Common Lisp to say much about the
#||#-comments.)
