Do you mean fancy quotes or fancy indenting?  It is a convention
within emacs programming language modes that a comment introduced with
a single character is indented to a particular (configurable) column.
Doubling the comment character indents to the current indent column
for code.  Tripling the character aligns the line on the first column.
 I think it would be non-trivial to special-case "#'" as meaning "##"
for the purpose of determining the indentation.
