maybe call
,-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| comment-normalize-vars is a compiled Lisp function in `newcomment.el'.
|
| (comment-normalize-vars &optional NOERROR)
|
| Check and set up variables needed by other commenting functions.
| All the `comment-*' commands call this function to set up various
| variables, like `comment-start', to ensure that the commenting
| functions work correctly. Lisp callers of any other `comment-*'
| function should first call this function explicitly.
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------
before using comment-start?
