stata-misc's Issues

Ignore more comment syntax

Right now we identify comments to skip in two ways:

• The string can be length zero
• The raw string can start with #

The creates conflicts where we want comments to match the indent level of nested dictionaries

The solution is to call a line a comment if the first character in the trimmed string is #.
