It seems that both - my initial question and my answer to you were not
precise. Let me try to provide better wording for my point. Your
example shows comment statement which, as any other statement,
requires ending semicolon. It cannot be terminated with end of line.
On other hand C++-style single
Don't be thrown by the quotes - they're not required. If you want to
get pedantic, let's
go with ALGOL-60, and quote the commands instead:
'comment' anything after comment is a comment; 'integer' a, b;
I knew you'd bristle at the answer, but I thought you'd have picked on
the semi-colon.
Oh well
Nice try, Bobby, but your example does not fit into my question since
comment here requires ending quote, in other words - special closing
tag I mentioned before. Sorry.
Anyway, I give up.
Alfred, thanks for your response. Your reason is good and I'm ready to
accept it though I don't think that
Ok, I'll bite.
Here's an example of a single-line comment which terminates on
anything other than an end of line:
comment "my comment"; begin integer a, b (...)
the language is ALGOL. Comments terminate on semi-colons.
I hope you'll keep your end of the deal.

p.s. Sorry for disturbing
This behavior is by design, commands are tokenized on the ';' character
as well as newlines. I believe this code actually came from the Quake 1
engine (it hasn't changed between HL1 and Source). This isn't a bug and
I wouldn't want to change it at this point as we have millions of

It's definately not a bug. Semicolons are used in unix to terminate lines.
hostname "my server";sv_password scrim;sv_maxupdaterate 100;mp_timelimit 60;
above is the same exact thing as below
hostname "my server"
sv_password scrim
sv_maxupdatera

It's not a bug, it's a FEATURE! :D

None of us are denying it's unnatural but really, what's the point of
going on about this one? It's not like .cfg files have size limit so I
doubt anyone will run into this problem in real world situation. Your 15
year programmer so you should understand about bugs that are bugs but
not worth the
