gason doesn't parse comments about gason HOT 2 OPEN

I don't think this is a good idea. Comments are not supported in text editors, other parser and spec. With this extensions writing the simple pretty-print program turned into not a simple task at all.

I can understand not wanting to pretty print the comments -- I was suggesting throwing them away entirely.

For my current use, I have written a "strip comments" function I can call on a buffer, which removes comments before I parse the JSON (this function just replaces the comments with spaces, so the buffer becomes valid JSON).
