I commonly program in languages that don't have any sort of block/multiline comment (e.g. python [#] and fortran [c or !].). Is there any way to define a minor mode in emacs that would allow me to enter multiline comments? By that I mean, it would cause emacs to wrap text automatically after X lines (say 72) and automatically prepend a comment character (taken from the current major mode) to the beginning of each line?
Sorry if this is a pretty basic question -- my elisp skills are rudimentary at best.
