Do you care that it's harder to visually pick out the commented-out portions of a file at a glance using that syntax? I really don't want to give up s/^/#/ commenting. Double ##s seem like overkill to me. Then I have to use triple ### for the "thicker" parts in my little ASCII art comment header thingies. ### ### Blah blah ### ## Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. ## Ut et magna.
