Out of interest, is there any other language where the comment delimiter is invalid if immediately followed by a symbol?

Another quaint example, in shell scripts, lines starting with '#' are comments, except when the first line starts with '#!'.  Admittedly, this is still a comment as far as the shell is concerned, it's the OS that is intercepting the comment's contents and acting on it.

And #! in the first line is also treated as a comment in Haskell code so that you can run it as a script. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
