Subject: [relax-ng-comment] ## comments in compact syntax


I think one common pattern when you comment code is to use comment charaters as
dividers of major sections like:
 
# Some major section follows
#########################################################
 
The problem here is that the divider line is treated specially since
it starts with ##. It is a bit supricing but you can get around it easily
by adding an extra space:
 
# Some major section follows
# #######################################################
 
I think one solution would be to only recognize ## as a documentation
comment if it is followed by a non-# character. The disadvantage with
this is that you will possibly need an extra character of lookahead in the
parser.
 
Cheers,
David
