Hi, the new code in newcomment.el does one unpleasant thing. Adding and removing from comments does not exactly the same. The value of `comment-padding' gets inserted in between comment and code but is not removed. Eg.: (defun foo () (bar baz)) becomes with `comment-region' ; (defun foo () ; (bar baz)) but if I now remove the comment (with `C-u M-x comment-region' or `uncomment-region') I have to read: (defun foo () (bar baz)) The space is `comment-padding'. This simple patch tries to solve that problem.

Possibly this trend results from a mistaken belief that using a somewhat mysterious device confers an aura of power on the user. -- Niklaus Wirth
