By xuhdev:

Take a look [here](http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html):

Configuration files may include comments, prefixed by specific characters (#
and ;). Comments may appear on their own in an otherwise empty line, or may be
entered in lines holding values or section names. In the latter case, they need
to be preceded by a whitespace character to be recognized as a comment. (For
backwards compatibility, only ; starts an inline comment, while # does not.)

So we might want to support `#` as inline comment starter. We have no backward compatibility issues as python.
