I am fairly negative on that.

Such a hidden linkage, even if it is documented, is just one more thing people need to learn.

It _might_ be interesting (note: I did not say "worthwhile" here) to think what happens if we scanned the message (either coming from the commit being amended, -F file option, or -m message option), picked a punctuation character that does not appear at the beginning of the lines in it, and automatically adjusted core.commentchar if '#' appears at the beginning of one of the lines, though.
