I googled for a man page and pulled up the following:
>>BEGIN QUOTE
#extension opt [-]{option} [optarg]
Sets the value of boot-time options.
...
These "#extension" statements are beginning with character '#' that is
the comment flag of old TiMidity(version 0.2i or earlier). So
these statememts are treated as comment line.
The latest TiMidity treats "#extension" as white-space. So you can
omit it.
<<END_QUOTE
So, #extension is treated as a special case and not treated as a comment.
It also looks like you can simply omit the #extension and use "opt" by
itself like you were originally doing (but don't forget to prefix the
options with their - signs). I've always used the #extension lines, but
it looks like either way should work from the documentation.
