I made two mistakes: mis-remembered that in Vim 6.x % ignored
matching-entities in comments. And mis-read the following in
:help cpo-%:
% Vi-compatible matching is done for the "%" command.
Does not recognize "#if", "#endif", etc.
Does not recognize "/*" and "*/".
to mean that without %, Vim would be in a non-vi-compatible state
and support the two recognitions.
