No. 232 - dropping syntax table

I'm going to drop all use of syntax-table in
commenting. They aren't needed at all AFAIU: starts and
ends may specified by simple strings or chars, that's
all. Syntax makes calculation unnecessary complicated.
I tend to agree that the idea of character syntax classes is weird in
a modern environment. However, because the syntax tables exist, many
3rd-party modes define comments in terms of the comment character
syntax.
These must be supported.
