Hi,

Hi internals,
Since the #[] attribute syntax is currently winning the vote, [1]
it makes me wonder if the use of comments starting with # should be
deprecated.
Otherwise it seems like we could be setting ourselves up for long-term
confusion between attributes and comments, and also inconsistency with
other comments (it will no longer be safe to assume that a line can be
commented out by simply adding # at the beginning).
What do others think?

There is a critical use-case for comments beginning with the hash
symbol, namely UNIX shebang lines. In theory we could special-case those
and disallow the symbol in every other use, but… well, that seems like a
bit of a shame.

Andrea
