forward-comment re-implemented

I'm curious. What keys do you bind these commands to? Do you use
these a lot? I find that forward-sexp generally does nearly the
right thing, so have never bothered with these functions.
Having a look into XEmacs syntax.c, fixing in C seems difficult.
As forward-comment-lor might be fast enough and speed should not be not
crucial for this function, maybe the C code should be dropped and
this re-implementation used instead?
I worry that forward comment might be used in font-lock and similar
applications, and that would probably present a performance problem.
Somebody will have to actually try it with a pure Lisp implementation
to see, I suppose.
