I don't understand when that can happen (when inside a string (nth
8 ppss) is also non-nil).
I have
(defvar octave-comment-start-skip "\\(^\\|\\S<\\)\\(?:%!\\|\\s<+\\)\\s-*"
"Octave-specific `comment-start-skip' (which see).")
and this could find "#abc" as comment start where BEG is outside of
strings and comments but END is in a string.
Maybe this is due to setting octave-comment-start-skip incorrectly.
I looked at comment-normalize-vars and see it uses:
\\(\\(^\\|[^\\\n]\\)\\(\\\\\\\\\\)*\\)
as anchor but I don't understand fully.
