Enables putting line comments into option files included using '@'.
Comments begin with a ';' followed by whitespace, and terminates at the
end of the line. Backward compability should be satisfactory since ';'
is a character disallowed in DOS filenames and rarely used in filenames
or options anywhere else as well.

Hello,
Sorry for bumping it again but I guess it was getting overlooked.
I am very junior with mailing list open source contributions so please feel
free to point out if I have inadvertantly done something in an incorrect way.
The archive of the original email can be found at
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2021-September/579232.html
and is also appended below.
Best regards,

This looks useful, I hope a reviewer will eventually notice it.
Until then keep pinging (say, weekly)!
A few comments (no pun intended):

Perhaps mention that the ';' has to be at the start of the line
to be considered a comment?
Also, while ';' is, as you say, very suitable considering the
context, maybe allow the ubiquitous '#' as well? Though, I
don't know how common that is in MSWindows and Apple-anything
file-paths, in corner cases. Thoughts?

I'd suggest a comment here as to the purpose, e.g.
/* Skip comments. */

The ";" (for the empty block) should be at a line by itself,
says the coding-standard.

I read the upstream thread from a while back and I got the impression
the utility was in question, so I pushed this near the bottom of my
review list.
