The functions are there to read text representations of Euphoria values/objects,
not to parse Euphoria *code*.

Now "string evaluation" of code would certainly be very useful (and I think Matt
implemented this in an alternate version of the PD source, didn't you?) and
that's an enhancement I'd like to see -- but that has nothing to do with these
functions which were not designed to handle comments.  Chris, you're simply
misunderstanding the docs...
