I beg to differ. A few examples, randomly taken from GNU manuals:

> a word beginning with ‘#’ causes that word and all remaining
> characters on that line to be ignored.

> In the Octave language, a comment starts with either the sharp sign
> character, ‘#’, or the percent symbol ‘%’ and continues to the end of
> the line. Any text following the sharp sign or percent symbol is
> ignored by the Octave interpreter and not executed. The following

> disp ("Blast Off!"); # Rocket leaves pad

> Comments in m4 are normally delimited by the characters ‘#’ and
> newline.
> `quoted text' # `commented text'

> According to Posix, Make comments start with # and continue until an
