Simply perfect!

The only impact is that we cannot expect a multi-line block to be correctly
exported in the following case:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
-- set flag
UPDATE dossier
SET DossierSentToSector = @now
WHERE ID
    IN (SELECT actID_fk
        FROM actions
        WHERE (actID = 338 AND actEtat = 3))
    AND F1SignDate < @firstDayOfThisMonth
    AND DossierSentToSector IS NULL
    AND <<ConditionForSector>>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Because `AND' would be copied in front of every line, which may not be OK.
But, for me, that's both perfectly comprehensible and perfectly acceptable.

Would the source block be mono-line, the above must perfectly work.

Do we agree on this?

Thank you very much, anyway, for this very nice fix, which fixes the above
problem of commented block, and the indentation one... 2 flies with 1 stone.

Best regards,
  Seb
