Comments

When looking for arguments, the comment character is treated logically as the end of the line. Thus, any following characters are ignored (and can be used as a comment). Thus, the line

      foo ! bar   		| has a single argument `foo' followed by a comment.

| Comment strings cannot be read by the program.

, !a comment | has two empty arguments before the comment.
