Item10011: configure mis-reads comments in a PERL type setting

if you create an Extension's Config.spec thusly

# ---+ Extensions
# ---++ RestPlugin
# **PERL H**
# This setting is required to enable executing the query script from the bin directory
$Foswiki::cfg{SwitchBoard}{query} = {
    package  => 'Foswiki::UI::Query',
    function => 'query',
#    context  => { query => 1,
#                },
    };
1;

and then save in configure

not only does configure not report this setting as set (ok, sort of), but the commented out parts are set in LocalSite.cfg as though the =#='s didn't exist.

AFAICT this all works fine, with the comments treated as comments, and not transferred on to LSC. I followed the steps as outline above and it's fine.

It might have been fixed by George at some point; can you please check and if there is still a problem, describe how to reproduce it. Thanks.

Any news? I'm closing this Sven, please re-open if this is still an issue.
