Kinda off topic, but this is the case w/ TCL. In fact, there's some
"interesting" code at the beginning of some TCL (tclsh) (and friends
like wish(1)) scripts to get sh to search PATH for tclsh which relies
on this property of what one might call a "comment continuation."
Perhaps whoever wrote the parser code for the Mutt configuration files
is an avid TCL programmer as well? :^)
