Documentation

Put the region into a Pascal comment.The comments that are in this area are "deformed":
*) becomes !(* and } becomes !{.
These deformed comments are returned to normal if you use C-c C-u (pascal-uncomment-area) to undo the commenting.

The commented area starts with pascal-exclude-str-start, and ends with pascal-exclude-str-end. But if you change these variables, C-c C-u (pascal-uncomment-area) won't recognize the comments.
