Summary: quote in comment puzzles shell

Initial Comment:
See this shell code:
: $( #"
)

The shell complains: bad substitution: no closing `)' in $( #"
)

The characters following # upto the end of line should be ignored. This works not in the attached example.

BTW, it works if the quotation is doubled or the quotation is replaced by text without characters " or '.
