We already had this debate last year: 
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2016-August/031458.html

I think comments start with "#" and that does not have to be at the 
beginning of the line. There are multiple examples of software that 
agree. I still think it would be right to allow this comment form.

But if the solution is to allow this only for specific configuration 
options, I would also like this for "default-key" in addition to 
"trusted-key". If you have a handful of more private keys in your 
keyring, a comment definitely makes sense in addition to the key-id. And 
as we can see, many people just ad comments to the same line.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!
