Suggestion for comments. Why not support this syntax for comments as well as #
/* comments comments */
It will allow for neater looking config files.
It's not a programming language, it's a config file. Standard comment syntax is '#' (or ';' in the case of bind, which is an odd-ball).
Given these 2 examples:
/* foo bar baz */
or
# foo # bar # baz
I personally feel that the latter is more clearly read and understood. It also makes it much simpler to parse from a shell or perl or whatever.
I'm suggesting using BOTH.
