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.
