My wishes about NEW-RPL

although I am not the biggest fan of RPL myself (to put it mildly) I follow these threads with interest.

One thing puzzles me and is somehow contradicting my own programming experience:

When I add a comment to any piece of program code I usually want it to stay there, i.e. expect it to be a persistent comment. Most of "my" comments are of this type. A temporary comment, e.g. to mark a piece of code which is not finished yet or requires improvement, is rather seldom used. Normally I can remember those tings long enough (yet...).
So for me the logical thing to do would be to mark the more often needed comments in the way that requires less keystokes, which would be a single "@".

But maybe this is just me?

Legacy RPL doesn't have persistent comments at all. I don't get the usefulness of volatile comments, once the source is compiled they're gone. Perhaps Claudio re-evaluates the nature of the comments, shouldn't be to difficult to have it the other way around.
