Re: [O] Make ,* show up as * in babel blocks

 I assume that there's no easy way not to add the comma.
 But I think it should be possible to fontify it as if it's not there.

 This comma is auto-removed for purposes of evaluation
 or when switching to native mode to edit a source block.

 The issue is that it's not removed when viewing the org-file.

 Small example to illustrate: J souce */ 2 2 displays as

 #+begin_src J
 ,*/ 2 2
 #+end_src

 I've found a work around:

 (defvar keyword-comma-star
   '((^\\(,\\*\\) (1 (prog1 ()
 (compose-region (match-beginning 1)
 (match-end 1)
 ?*))
 (font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode keyword-comma-star)

I think it's a good candidate for
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html 
but the default should be to display the comma so that users
know it's here.

2 cents,

Hi all,

(compose-region (match-beginning 1)

(font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode keyword-comma-star)

Is this good enough to add to org-babel core?
Maybe someone has a different option to fix the issue?
