I understand your position, but something "just working" is not the same 
than something being supported. I cannot find any mention of nonstandard 
comment support in the documentation for 1.58. All I see is a link to a 
Wikipedia article, which reads "JSON does not provide or allow any sort 
of comment syntax".
