You can expect it in both ways. If you interpret '#' like shell scripts
do, you get my expectation.

It also has disadvantages. Say, I'm playing around with some hooks,
trying to find an error in a regex.

# folder-hook <very-specific-regex> \
folder-hook <slightly-less-specfic-regex> \
  "set from = \"foobar@xxxxxxxxxxx\"

And my folder hook will never match ... But as long as our config looks
like a muttrc, it should probably behave like a muttrc.
