1. emacs -q
2. C-x b foo RET
3. M-x emacs-lisp-mode RET
4. ;;;; hello M-j

Result is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;;; hello|#
#|
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

but it should be

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;;; hello
;;;;
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

My first thought is that since multiline comments of this style are not
valid Emacs Lisp, we should just set block-comment-start and
block-comment-end to nil for emacs-lisp-mode.

However, the recipe provided above works if you do 'M-x lisp-mode RET'
instead.

Even though Common Lisp supports these block comments, if you are
already writing a semicolon-delimited comment, then M-j should continue
it, rather than starting a #| |# comment.
