HashTag within one-line strings

[Ecconia]

When using SUCC I often stumble across the issue, that it has been a few months and I forgot that one has to escape # inside strings.

Knowledge background:

To my knowledge there are 3 types of strings:

• One line: <key>: <value>
• One line quoted: <key>: "<value>"
• Block:

<key>: """
<value>
"""

All three can be at any point be stopped with # to start a comment. And \# will place a # into the content.

Problem:

I understand that comments can and should be possible/escapable in one-line string values and block-string values.

But they just make no sense in quoted one line string. As after a comment, there is no possible way for the closing " to be added. Hence it is basically destroying the value of the string.
One could argue, that the opening " would be part of the message - but then that should be escaped, else it would be misleading.

Suggestion:

If I am with my understanding correct, and the simple-quoted string is indeed limited to a single line.
Then my proposal is, to ignore # inside of such string (as it makes no sense).

Hm, this is interesting, thanks for bringing it up. I guess my only concern is that I think # escaping should behave consistently. It feels weird and unintuitive to have different rules for it in different situations.
