Indeed, we seem to be treating 'pass' like 'return' and others
that end a block.  Does it really make sense to say 'pass' and
not end a block?

We pay attention to comment indent because it's what is wanted
more often than not if entering multi-line comments (otherwise,
Wing would stubbornly auto-indent to the wrong level for each
subsequent comment line).

For the above, I'd recommend using a docstring if the comment
is documentation for the function or indenting the comment if
it describes what a particular block of code in the function 
does.  If there's a compelling reason not to do that, we can
of course consider making this more configurable (but more
configurability is not always a good thing ;-)
