RPL comment syntax

I don't really like the idea of comments starting with '$' because '$' is a character that can be used in object names in rpl (variables, programs...).

Valid point.

Yes, at the moment, DB48X is case insensitive. The rendering can use one of four styles (which are all accepted by the parser):

* Legacy ("RKF")
* MixedCase ("InitialValueSolver")
* UPPERCASE ("INITIALVALUESOLVER")
* lowercase ("initialvaluesolver")

At the moment, variable lookup is also case insensitive, so that your 'EQ' variable can be 'eq' or 'Eq'. Some built-in variables also have alternate names, e.g. 'PPAR' can be stored in 'PlotParameters'.
