--------------------------------------------------
Single-line ## comments still don't allow ", for example:
{code}
public void test44() throws Exception {
JEXL.createExpression("## 'comment'\n"); // OK
JEXL.createExpression("## \"comment\"\n"); // fails Lexical error at
line 1, column 4. Encountered: "\"" (34), after : "## "
}
{code}
I would expect ## and // to behave identically; however the parser specifically
does not allow double-quote after ##.
It's not clear why, as the syntax document does not mention anything special
about double-quotes.
I think this is probably a bug.
==
Note that the trailing "\n" is necessary, otherwise the test fails with:
Lexical error at line 1, column 13. Encountered: <EOF> after : "## \'comment\'"
Seems to me that <EOF> should be allowed to terminate a single-line comment.
