A "smart" source-code comment is an R comment, which start with a '#',
but is followed by a single letter, then a single symbol and a second
'#' and then an option character string, and there must not be any code
before the comment on the same line. In summary, a smart comment line
has format: <white spaces>#<letter><symbol># <some text>.
Example code with two smart comments (VComments):
x <- 2
#V1# threshold=-1
#Vc# A v-comment log message
cat("Hello world")
which after compilation becomes
x <- 2
verbose <- Verbose(threshold=-1)
if (verbose) { cat(verbose, "A v-comment log message"); }
cat("Hello world")
VComments.
