I try to be objective and look at this regardless of my wish.  Then, i
cannot see the rationale about what makes special marking by extension.
Why should '* .' prompt for a marker-char (the only guy doing so)
but similar ones as '* @', '* /', or even '% m' should not?
The code is talking us, let's hear what is saying.  It should be obvious.
I would be proud on you if you could reconsider your opinion in case 
several people here suggest you the opposite.  It would be wise.
