Sebb commented on JEXL-44:
--------------------------
I've just had a look at the Velocity doc -
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/user-guide.html#Comments - and "##" is
a single-line comment.
However, AFAICT, it does not treat double-quote specially, so why does JEXL do
so?
Indeed there seems to be no way to make a valid script once a double-quote is
detected inside a ## comment.
-1 to dropping "##" as a comment marker, that migh break lots of scripts.
> Comments don't allow double-quotes
