Indeed. However, it turns out that the syntax *is* relevant to
the Python interpreter. So despite it looking like a comment, it is
not.

I personally had wished if it would have been proper syntax (and
had proposed PEP 244 in that direction), however, the BDFL rejected
that idea an preferred a comment-like syntax.
