Ok, good point, I missed that.

I don't feel that combining the two in a single enum is particularly good since it would be better to allow the application the freedom to set an arbitrary comment character and not be locked in to any static list that we choose (see my previous email response).

I also agree on not using enums and not limiting comment chars.
I don't particularly like config structs, and would prefer individual
flags and comment char parameters - given it's not a huge list of
params, just 2 - but no big deal either way.
