I hope this isn't a request to drop single line comments. Having
multi-line comments only is a mistake.

If I want to comment out a line I don't want to jump to the end of the
line (or to the following line) to add my "here ends my
comment"-delimiter. Therefor a single-line comment is more important
for me (and editors may or may not help you if you want to comment out
block of code).

Not sure if I understood this, but the EOL is not part of the
comment. Currently a single line comment is defined as "starts with #
and ends just before the EOL", if that matters.
(Replace "#" with "!!" if the Kyoto comment syntax is approved :/ ).

Best regards,
Lars
