Allowing to comment anything is a can of worms I really don't want to open. It complicates a lot of code for little benefit. > I have started to modify defun org-table-align.

Tables are not just about alignment. Formulas don't handle these special lines, neither do exported tables. Again, this implies a serious work on org-table.el, and it would introduce inconsistencies with other parts of Org (e.g., lists, where you cannot comment an item, or even the syntax for commenting table rows, which would be unusual). All in all, I think there are more important itches to scratch for the time being. Of course, YMMV. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
