I don't think it is the point. keeping comments out of the
sequence will dramatically increase the speed of both
sequence similarities and keyword searches. It is not so
hard to use two files for a sequence, one for the sequence
itself and one for the comments.
It is not for the programmer's sake but for the researcher
comfort.
