I think the right way to fix this is to allow ielm to read the
form as it currently does (using read-from-string) and then
discard following input if it contains either merely whitespace
(as is currently the case) or a comment.

The patch I proposed in

(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/89087)
does this correctly, I think.
