It is the minimum case that can solve a problem commenting one line -- or
part of it as in "print '3' # print the number 3" -- or commenting multiple
lines.  It is also easier to deal with since you don't have to end your
comment all the time.

For "if", "while", "for", etc. you have ":" and the indentation.  You don't
have an "endif", "endwhile", "endfor" (so, why having an "end comment"?).
