OK.

Current there are a lot of file types that have no major mode within Emacs.  A
good example would be /etc/X11/XF86Config (for GNU/Linux fans).

I have written a `comment-mode' which prompts for a comment-start string.
Usually

#
//
;

etc.

It then enables font-lock with a pattern that matches all comment lines.

Can we add this?  I think it would help a lot of people.

The humans won't stop there!  They'll make bigger boards with bigger nails and
so on.  Pretty soon they will make a board with a nail in it so big it will
destroy them all!
