You're right, the comment is wrong. The definition is also not
correct, the key should be atomic num>103.
The reason the more complete defn is commented out is that the RDKit
periodic table data only go up to #104. I added a comment to that
effect.

I'm afraid that's lost in the sands of time. I will remove them.

Yep.

Fixed this.

It's undocumented

This is one where the spec is incomplete : it includes the amazingly
helpful (&...) at the end.

Agreed.

Those also have (&...). I've updated the comment to make clear that
it's due to an incomplete spec.

I just checked in a set of changes reflecting the above.
