Hmm, didn't expect that and don't believe it. We speak about lists in 
emacs-lisp here, it is defined what a list is. They affect there meaning 
of a program and therefor can't exist inside a comment.

Thanks, just another bug. As the info above tells contents of a comment 
having no effect WRT meaning of a program, result of evaluation in this 
case comes from the deepness of nothing? ;)
