Ah! Didn't read that far. I assumed that comments would Just
Work. As I think they should. The given solution is logically correct,
but not user-friendly. It deals with picky exceptions. I think it's
better to count on the software remembering these exceptions than the
user. The rule "count comments as white space" would do the job, I think,
and then the comments would always work.
