Hmm, I've never thought about that. And since comment removal works
before macro expansion (at least I think so), I believe it's
impossible.

In my CJK package, I use character code 0x7F for various purposes
since this is not used anywhere else, in no encoding. So adding
\catcode "7F=14
somewhere in texinfo.tex would make this character available as a
comment character for all encodings (save EBCDIC) -- without *any*
problems. What do you think?

Hehe.

Do you mean a different design of handling the current @macro syntax,
or a complete new way of designing macros?
