Hi Christian, Thank you for the useful feature request!
I have just - added 'table/comment chars' key - added 'table/skip first n' key. Now, \addplot table[comment chars=!] .... or \addplot table[skip first n=3] ... will both result the desired input. If you want to use the new features soon: watch out for the next unstable TDS built on http://pgfplots.sourceforge.net/ (will come before next sunday probably).
