bugfix: comments were incorrectly being terminated by CR; for example
fails to compile because the CR character terminates the comment, and CR is not a valid character in jq syntax.
improvement: comments fully support Tcl-style line continuation. Previously this was only "supported" in
-f
scripts, whose first line starts with "#!", and second line starts with#
and ends with\
, only for the comment on the second line, only for one extra line.man: document comment syntax, which was previously undocumented.
tests: add regression tests for the bugfix, and some tests for line continuation in comments.
