Users who want comments to be equivalent to empty lines will not write
the above. If they do, it's their responsability.

I didn't suggest that parsing should modify the before: I said "where
comments are deleted before parsing and exporting".
There should be an easy solution for that.

I didn't suggest to redefine comments.

This is a general pre-export issue, it does not depend on the
exporters themselves.
So again, what prevents us to make it easy for users to treat comments
as no-line before parsing and exporting?
