#? and #* are non-nesting, but #| has nesting. That would be a tricky
difference. Nesting doesn't make sense for documentation comments.

One of the goals here is a low barrier to adoption. Adding the #? and #*
extensions to a reader should only take about 20 lines of code or so,
and the rest is provided in the sample implementation. Hopefully that
will help with uptake.

Also implementations don't have to support #| comments, only R7RS or
SRFI 30 compliant implementations have to.
