Unfortunately, the current spec does not allow inline comments. I believe it 
would be good to change the spec in this regard, but currently your only safe 
option is to add a full-line comment (i.e. '#' in the first column of the line) 
before or after the line you're referring to, and make clear from the comment 
which line your refer to.

Sebastian
