Are there any plans to support SRFI-62 (S-expression comments)?
No specific plans. I guess it would be easy to implement if there
is a request. http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-implementers.html doesn't
mention any Schemes that implement it, so it doesn't seem like a
high priority in terms of compatibility - or functionality.
I'm not convinced by the rationale. Yes, commenting out using #;
is slightly easier than when using #|...|#, but the latter is more
readable (human-parseable) and safe, I think.
