This is the convention I would like to see in an ideal clojure highlighter theme:
;; comments are highlighted so that they stand out. Comments are meant to be read, not forgotten. (comment ) form is for example code, so it is highlighted as a normal clojure code #_ is used for disabling parts of code, so the disabled form has grayed color and is strikedthrough-ed.
