Comments

A comment is started by # , and continues to the end of the line. Note that the comment symbol # should be followed by a space (or other white space), though a letter or number is also OK. The reason is that # followed by certain special symbols has special (different) meanings.

For example, #( begins a nested comment, which extends to the next (unmatched) #).

To include the text in the file named filename, do: #<filename>. (This doesn't work quite right.)
