David Ciemiewicz commented on PIG-1182:
---------------------------------------
Corinne, I made no changes.
I'm pointing out that it is an omission to not have the comment syntax
documented in the reference manual.
Reference manuals for programming languages SHOULD ALWAYS have information on
ALL syntax including comment syntax.
Once you are done with learning things in the User's Guide, most of the time
programmer's just go back to the Reference Manual for quick look up of
information and syntax.
So the documentation on comment syntax should be in BOTH the User's Guide AND
the Reference Manual.
