Why not keep previous meta-commands where they're at, but also introduce a

Because it wouldn't be supported by LDraw and LEdit.  Part files frequently
include comments, so any standard option for commenting should be allowable
in the parts library.

Right. Elsewhere in the thread you'll see I tested it in LEdit and it
crashed -- that was soon ruled out of the discussion, at least for now :-)

I'm not too keen on MLCad's
WRITE, to me it makes little to no sense. Maybe if it was COMMENT or even !
(like an HTML comment) instead I'd buy it.

Some people already use COMMENT.

Nit: That's a bit too much for my tastes. What's wrong with //?
