Yes.  But it's not as pretty as it could be.  You get say

.\" this is a comment
. \" and this is auto
. \" filled subsequent
. \" comment lines

Nroff is happy with the extra space after the dot, even if you mightn't
want your source looking that way.  Like I say, this is so now with or
without what I propose for non-comment directives.

I went a few rounds wrestling with comments filling, without yet getting
to how I think it should work.
