Inline Comments?

[zyansheep]

It would be nice to have inline comments I think.

Something like:

$list = [ /* item1 */ item2 item3 ]

Any thoughts?

I've given it some thought, and yes I think this would be good to have.

Subject: Analysis of existing COMMENT rule in grammar.pest

"Hi everyone!

I've been looking into this issue and noticed that the src/grammar.pest file already contains a COMMENT rule: COMMENT = _{ "//" ~ (!"\n" ~ ANY)* }.

In the Pest parser, WHITESPACE and COMMENT rules are typically implicit between other rules. However, I’d like to clarify a few points to better understand the current blocker:

Inline Behavior: Does the current implementation fail when a comment is placed on the same line as a value (e.g., key = "value" // comment)?

Atomic Rules: Are there any specific atomic rules (like strings or paths) where the comment might be interfering or failing to be ignored?

Parser Integration: Is the COMMENT rule correctly handled in the src/parser.rs (or equivalent) when generating the AST, or is it currently being skipped entirely?

I'm interested in helping to fix the implementation if the foundation is already there. Looking forward to your thoughts!"
