comment in data file?

[abramson]

I would like to load data from an input file and I found it convenient
to use the data format which precedes the data with their
specification, for example: 

# created by 
# name: Y
# type: matrix
# rows:  100
# columns: 5

However, I would like to add some comments to the file but I haven't
been able to do so, for example: 

# created by 
# name: Y
# type: matrix
# rows:  100
# columns: 5
# my comment 

fails to load the file 

Any hints?

TIA
