This has been the case since FP2.0 - in those days you could add comments to "screen" fields and if the comment ended with a ; it would error on the valid()/when() code that followed because the first line was seen as part of the comment. This caused many happy hours of fun.

Perhaps the time has come for a comment to be a comment and for all contents, including ; , to be ignored. I see no useful purpose in continuation of comment lines.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
