Why do you say """there must be at least one whitespace character between the \ and the comment"""?
Two reasons: (1) make the backslash more likely to stand out visually (and we can't require a space before it) (2) \# looks like it might be an escape sequence of some sort while I don't think \ # does, making this friendlier to readers. I'm not passionate about that detail if the rest of the proposal flies. --- Bruce Latest blog post: Alice's Puzzle Page http://www.vroospeak.com Learn how hackers think: http://j.mp/gruyere-security
