Actually, I've just discovered by accident that a '#' at the stat of a 
line seems to make the entire line be interpreted as a comment, quotes 
not needed.  That seems not to be mentioned in either 
 https://code.monotone.ca/p/contrib/page/UsherDocumentation/
or
 http://monotone.thomaskeller.biz/docbuild/html/Formats.html#Formats
