Stumbled over the issue from my
line-or-region commenting tool - with prefix `ar-' now
BTW at

https://code.launchpad.net/s-x-emacs-werkstatt/

lisp-mode.el contains this

  (make-local-variable 'comment-start)
  (setq comment-start ";")

Think that's the right place: it's more straight IMHO let
modes introduce this var.

Maybe just delete it from c-sources? Unless I'm missing
something... :-)

Thanks

Andreas
