I'll have a look at it.

Yes the man page says they are not support, but if you actually try to
use them I don't get any error message, and ifup/ifdown work
properly. However as I don't expect many real-life cases using
comments at end-of-line, maybe we should stick to the man page and
drop the support from the lens.
