\stophiding

does not support nesting in the way buffers do (simply because it was 
not enabled); i added a few lines to the buffer handler, so that now we 
can say:

\definebuffer[mycomment][local=yes]

and have 

\startmycomment 
.... 
\stopmycomment

(this extension will be available in the next release) 

(btw, in a similar fashion verbatim supports some nesting, which was needed in order to be able to write manuals)
