To me, these make the most sense:

statement1 @ Comment that will not be retained

statement2 @@ Comment that WILL be retained @@ more commands possible here...

NewRPL has those 2 cases and adds @@@ as a multiline comment that doesn't end until it finds another @@@ so it's useful to comment out entire blocks of code.

Another feature in newRPL is a flag to retain all comments. If it's not set then only @@ comments are kept (those are permanent no matter what).
