OK. I don't have a strong opinion. Are you OK with core.commentString as
a strict synonym (so last-one-wins and either name overwrites previous)?
Or do you want an override (i.e., commentString always overrides
commentChar, regardless of order). I think it's mostly academic, and the
strict synonym version is much easier to implement.
