Thanks Nicolas, just a small detail though: unless this is a planned
(breaking) change, I believe the description you linked should read:
A “comment line” starts with *zero or more whitespace characters,
followed by* a hash sign, followed by a whitespace character or an end
of line.
Another detail: it could be nice to have a small appendix somewhere
mapping character names to codepoints, since Unicode has no less than
three “number signs” (from Wikipedia):
- U+0023 # NUMBER SIGN (HTML #). Other attested names in Unicode are:
pound sign, hash, crosshatch, octothorpe.
- U+FF03 # FULLWIDTH NUMBER SIGN (HTML #)
- U+FE5F ﹟ SMALL NUMBER SIGN (HTML ﹟)
