Google 'vim automatic comment' finds sect 30.6 of the Vim User Manual,
which covers something similar; also

  http://ianua.initd.org/vimit/vim63/html/change.html#fo-table

which seems to cover what you describe under options 'r' & 'o'.

Perhaps this will get you started, if no-one else has more precise info.
