Thanks for the feedback.

I was proposing adding a 2nd set of bindings.  For folks with super-key,
the current bindings will be faster.  More obscure bindings won't get in
their way.

As for C-c %  vs C-c C-<key> - the Elisp manual is pretty specific saying
that C-<punctuation> is reserved for minor modes (excluding ; : { and } ).
 I picked % out of a hat since it is a comment character.

As for the bolding effect, that is an overlay in matlab-sections, and if
you turn off sections mode, then it goes away.  Sections mode just happens
to have also adopted the face used for %% comments.  It would be easy to
change the defface in sections to inherit from `font-lock-comment-face' and
fix general font locking.  I lost track of where the actual font lock usage
of it is, but the defface should be near the font-lock regexps.

As for auto-choosing when to enable detection of sections to avoid bolding
in functions 'matlab-guess-script-type' already detects the basics of what
is needed.  It could just not add its post-command-hook if not in a
script.  Sections would then also need to watch when this value changes and
reset itself - typically when one goes from an empty file to one with a
function decl in it.

I'll go look in that other thread too.  Thanks for pointing it out.  I
hadn't realized how much I missed b/c the emails are getting binned in a
weird place for me when I rearranged my mailing list subscriptions.
