Subject: Comments not documented in language reference (PR#2367)
The R Language Definition manual should document comments. I think
this should go after section 10.1 "The Parsing Process" and before
10.2 "Tokens". Here's some draft text.
@node Comments, Tokens, The parsing process, Parser
@comment node-name, next, previous, up
@section Comments
Comments in R are ignored by the parser. Any text from a \# character
to the end of the line is taken to be a comment. For example,
@smallexample
> x <- 1 # This is a comment
@smallexample
