On a side note: you can usually avoid dealing with ":set" for
options that take string values by using "let &option = ..." instead of
"set option=...". E.g. for the line above:

let &comments = 'sO:* -,mO:* ,exO:*/,s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,://'

To set local options you'd use "let &l:option = ..." instead of
"setlocal option=...", and to explicitly set a global options you can do
"let &g:option = ..." instead of "setglobal option=...".

Of course, "&option" can also be used to read the value of an option
if needed.
