Feature Request: support comments in the .gzl grammar files

[Catherine Rodgers]

When I'm testing where an error is in my grammar file, I'd like to be
able to comment out the lines I suspect of being the problem. As it
is, I have to make a copy of the file and delete the possibly
offending lines.

It would also be nice to have comments to, well, comment :) a
complicated grammar.

Yes, comments are definitely something that should be added.  I think the main thing keeping me from adding them is that I can't decide what their syntax should be.  I think the main contender is C++ style:

/* comment */
// comment

If I still like this in a few days, I'll add it to the code in Git.

Those styles are pretty standard (as is "# comment"). Anything will
do, so long as comments are in some way supported. :)
