There's not really a way for nix to know the line is actually a comment. To nix phpOptions just a string. What's considered a comment depends on the language, not all languages use # for comments. To 芦fix禄 this strings would need to how they're meant to be used, or what language they are in other words.
Though it's sure is a gotcha which isn't immediately obvious :laughing:
