Actually jde-gen's default "cflow" templates are comment/quote aware.
That is, the tempo-templates include a hook that expands the abbrev
with a control flow template everywhere except when point is inside
of a comment or a double quoted string.
The problem is that the tempo-templates are activated by abbrev-mode,
which is not case sensitive and which doesn't make the text that
triggered the abbrev expansion available to the expander of that text.
There's also no mecahnism through which a template can say "oh wait,
cancel the expansion and leave the text unmolested."
So, abbrev-mode expands abbrevs without regard to case, and the
jde cflow templates are forced to choose one case or the other to
use in contexts (quotes and strings) when the full expansion is not
appropriate.
In sum, this is a minor annoyance, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's
much better than getting if () { } inserted when you're trying to compose
a comment (which is what earlier versions of the templates did before I
added the quote-or-string hook).
