Agreed, current syntax is too wordy (thus, I'm not using it). Another
option would be to use something closer to HTML comments, as all
designers should recognize HTML comments, so something like:
{<!-- Django Comment -->}
or:
<!--# Django Comment #-->
Themes on the pattern of the first example.
{< This is a comment >}
or:
{! Comment !}
I think I'm +1 on this last one. It evokes the aesthetic of both the
Django template tags and an HTML comment. It is also very readable and
less programming-language looking and blocky than {# #}.
