It depends on your definition of "less surprise" I guess. In perl and
shell, inline comments are allowed. Older SA versions allowed it as well
(this is from 2.64):
foreach (split (/\n/, $_[1])) {
s/(?<!\\)#.*$//; # remove comments
So it's not like this is a new issue in 3.0.0. Either we want to agree to
change the behavior of comments, require only whole line comments, and then
allow non-escaped RE, or leave it the way it's been for the last year plus,
and just document that an escape is required for # chars in RE.
IMO, "less surprise" is the latter.
