Part of the point is that the comments *are* associated with the config
items. That way if you're constructing config files programattically,
you can say - this comment belongs with this value.

If you don't care about the association (or how it's done internally) -
then the current implementation 'just works'.

Interleaving comments and the other values sounds like a nightmare !
