After a short discussion on #lisp the current behaviour was seen as a bug; a
line-comment should _only_ be terminated by a newline, and not by a terminating
character as well.
Eg. for
#?rx( ...
# (a test)
hello)
the current version would return an error about "hello" being an unknown variable.
Regards,
Phil
