If tags were the way to go, I agree. BUT, ultimately I side with Kevin, just
add comment marks, not meta-command ones. I think that option makes the most
sense. But as Dan also said, I'm not a programmer who will be implementing
this, so I don't get that say.

I don't. It's standard to have to prefix comments with something. Also,
POV-Ray uses //.

Sure, in theory. I don't see that big of a deal with indtroducing // blah..
as an explicit comment, and leaving meta-commands alone. As Kevin said, it's
much better to have implicit and explicit comments than it is to have
implicit and explicit meta-commands.
