Yes, I see what you mean. As I was saying by mail to someone
else, it's the difference between the logical computer language
and human thought :)
Anyway, and just for debate, what do you think of the following:
# this line is a comment \
but what is this one ?
is 2nd line a comment as there is the "\" indicating the "parsing
continue on next line", or is it not, as everything beyond the #
will be treated as comment and so not analysed ?
in the case of mutt, the comment continue til the next blank
line, but I'm not sure every soft acts in the same way...
