It's been talked about, proposed, tentatively planned, and postponed
indefinately (I think you can find it in src/tla/=TODO).
A drawback is the costs:
* regexps are "light", sort-of, but not nearly so light as the ad-hoc
parsers currently used
* it's a commitment to still more parsing of =tagging-method and so
forth -- more code when there's too much already
Neither of those are show-stoppers -- just reasons why it isn't an
automatic win. Hence, postponed indefinately rather than rejected.
(Another possible reason for the feature is for languages like m4 in
which the normal comment syntax doesn't jive with tagline syntax --
but now we have workarounds for that, too.)
