I would imagine it is intended since *#_* is a reader macro. *#_* is not 
intended for commenting. Rather, it instructs the Clojure Reader to ignore 
entirely the subsequent form. This is much different from the *comment*macro 
(which simply takes any number of arguments and returns nil) or the 
*;* comment syntax. 

It might be a bit involved to have *#_* and the subsequent form appear 
commented through clojure-mode's syntax highlighting. However, it would 
also incorrectly express the semantics of *#_* which, arguably, is counter 
to the goal of syntax highlighting.
