## What it is
A Neovim plugin that sets the commentstring option dynamically based on the cursor location using tree-sitter queries. It handles files with embedded languages, such as Vue files with multiple sections, and integrates with commenting plugins like Comment.nvim.

## Use cases
- comment code correctly in Vue files with mixed JS and HTML sections
- set commentstring based on cursor location in embedded languages
- make vim-commentary work with JSX and embedded languages
- support tree-sitter-aware commenting in Neovim
- use different comment styles within a single file

## When to avoid
- you only edit single-language files where the default commentstring works
- you don't use tree-sitter parsers in Neovim
- you want a plugin that adds commenting mappings itself
