It is surely used for something. Or was. Or was intended to be. One possibility, probably wrong, is that they are an autoload token. (The standard one is ";;;### autoload"). See if there's a local variables section at the end of the file(s). If so, is there a declaration for `generate-autoload-cookie'? > I'm maitaining the mode and have the urge to remove these braces. Check the repository to see if these comments were added for a particular reason. That's if you have access to the repository. But you've probably tried this already.
