I agree, this is not a great argument, but the fact that the language is inconsistent, and that it confuses people easily, and can't come up with great error messages when it does go wrong, (my original arguments) really are good arguments for fixing this.
I don't see how it is inconsistant at all. -- makes sense as a reserved operator because if it wern't a comment then '--' would be a valid operator. however {- would not be a valid operator if it were not a comment starter so it makes sense that it would act differently. the current system seems quite consistant and reasonable to me.
