But you _can't_ profit from these conveniences, at least not the ?
character. It's just garbage put in there for some others to interpret,
meaningless to the interpreter. So it _always_ boils down to
editor-support.

Now obviously _one_ scheme supported by all editors would be a great thing -
so one could argue that a well-defined PEP that suggests a certain comment
style that allows for your desired functionality would be a good thing.
