I certainly like this idea (and have thought about doing it in the past). This seems a very clean solution to the issue - no comments in the general case, but comments when you really want to see them. The comments are also auto-generated which I like as it saves on duplication of information. When combined with the newer expand-template which allows you to specify the output file, this should provide lots of debugging information. > I'm sure there must be an instance where such a comment would > break a config file though... There sure will be ones for which # commands are not allowed. Oh how I wish Unix had a standard config file comment character.
