Use %% comments, or modify the code so that it does what you want?

What is your definition of latest? I think you can get 21.x with the
testing distribution.
the real problem here is that it is much more complicated to decide
whether ' should be a transpose operator or a string delimiter.
I don't really care whether octave-mode supports these features (I'm
happy with " for strings and # for comments) but I would be happy to
accept changes that would make this work better.
