Hrm... grudgingly, I agree.

Yes, better.

I am tempted to make this into:
sleep(1); statusbar("No comment"); sleep(1); and blank the bar.

:)

Attached a tweaked patch.  I've placed the pick_up_name("comment") in
rcfile.c correctly, added a rebinding ability to global.c, updated the
texinfo document, added a missing space after the texinfo comment marker,
edited most of the comments, moved the --disable-comment to its correct
alphbetical position, modified empty_string() to better match the other
code in nano, have moved "Comment Lines" toward the end of the list
(where the new functions are), plus a couple of other minor changes.

If you are okay with this version, please create a patch with a commit
message and a signed-off line.

Everyone else: if there are no objections, I will merge this in another
two or three days.

Benno
