The main motivation for proposing this new option is that when I choose
the ':comments org' option, all the Org metadata that is close to the
code block in my org file are 'preserved', so comments in the source
file are somewhat awkward to read (as simple comments). My idea is that
with this new option the comments pass as plain text, without property
drawers, keywords, etc.

For example, that a header like this:

------------------------------------
* Variables
  :PROPERTIES:
  :foo:      var
  :END:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec
hendrerit tempor tellus. Donec pretium posuere tellus.
------------------------------------

does not pass to the source file like this:

------------------------------------
;; Variables
;;   :PROPERTIES:
;;   :foo:      var
;;   :END:
;; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec
;; hendrerit tempor tellus. Donec pretium posuere tellus.
------------------------------------

but in this way:

------------------------------------
;; Variables
;; ==========
;; Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec
;; hendrerit tempor tellus. Donec pretium posuere tellus.
------------------------------------

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
