What he means is that in Fortran, "comment lines" (that is,
'(^[C\*]|[ \t]*"!").*') can be both real comments or "pragmas".  What I
mean with that is that comment lines can actually be HPF or OpenMP
directives, or just plain comment.

This is not the case with "inline comment", i.e. comment following a
syntactic entity.
