   Yes, a patch like this could help for your code. I introduced the level
neutral comments idea after developing the original strictly indentation
based code and using it on example files. First blank lines had to become
level neutral as lots of functions and methods have blank lines. Then I
found lots of commented out bits so made the comment lines work like blank
lines. Another heuristic that may be light weight would be that comment
lines try to bind in a forwards direction but this may require some
look-ahead.

   I think they bulk the compiled code up a bit but I doubt whether its
significant.
