Possible solutions

  • Implement escaping by the backslash character
    • advantages: elegant and predictable
    • disadvantages: even more backwards incompatible than the current patch
  • Make another list for the __init__ method with prefixes disallowed for inline comments
    • advantages: backwards compatible
    • disadvantages: awkward to use, complicates the API
  • Make a switch in the __init__ method for enabling/disabling inline comments whatsoever
    • advantages: better API than the backwards compatible solution
    • disadvantages: backwards incompatible

I would be +1 on the first proposal, -0 on the rest.
