IIRC it's for hysterical raisins.
If you ask me, it should be the other way around: comment-column should
not be "make-variable-buffer-local" whereas comment-start should.
But it doesn't matter that much. Just always use either `setq-default'
or (set (make-loval-variable 'foo) bar) on those vars to be clear.
