Where does it say that?  It's wrong.

Quoting in the middle of a line can't be a comment, because 
quotes can enclose expressions.  Some versions of spice use it 
that way, so gnucap must accept it that way.

There really isn't a general here-to-the-end-of-line comment.  
There should be.  What it is would depend on what format you are 
using ..(spice, spectre, verilog, ...)

Gnucap should be able to read LTspice netlists and models as is, 
but I haven't looked at it to know if it really does.
