I sometimes want to write comments in my org-mode files, but the handy
function *comment-region* doesn't work, "no syntax defined for.."
Then I can choose '#' but it doesn't put it in the beginning of the
line.
I normally end in selecting the rectangle and run *string-rectangle*
with '#', but that's a bit annoying.
Why we can't just set '#' as the comment character so that normal
functions work fine?
Thanks

For some reason, setting the comment character causes problems with
autofilling, inserting that character in places where it does not
belong - his has come up several times here -we even have a FAQ about
it.

I'd love to see a solution for this problem, but I do not have one.
