Subject: [Exporter] Keep formatting or non-org comment-section when exporting?

Hi Nicolas, 

is there any way to make the exporter recognize non-org comment-syntax
in an org-buffer?

When writing emails with outorg, I often have these message-mode quotes
in the outorg-edit-buffer which have outcommented multiple times and
therefore remain as message-mode comments). They do not cause any
problems for editing, since outorg/org-mode treats them like normal
text, but formatting is lost when exporting:

becomes:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results value replace
(org-export-as 'ascii)
#+end_src

#+results:

This is a pity, would be nice if these quoted section could be wrapped
in a verbatim-type block so that exporting them gives a nice result. 

The same thing happens when I use outorg with e.g. emacs-lisp or
picolisp. Section that are outcommented twice or more like

 ,-----------
 | ;; ;; Comment
 | ;; ;; part
 `-----------

are seen in the outorg-edit-buffer like 

 ,-----------
 | ;; Comment
 | ;; part
 `-----------

and lose their formatting when exported.
