The idea was to prepend all existing comments with an extra hash.
Then lines with a single hash can be used without conflicting with
existing comments and the old comments can be restored exactly to their
previous form after editing is done.

existing
blah
# comment

during edit
blah
## comment
# edit-intstructions and whatnot

after edit
blah
# comment
