Subject: [PATCH] As described in
 https://archlinux.org/pacman/pacman.conf.5.html#_description, "Comments are
 only supported by beginning a line with the hash (#) symbol. Comments cannot
 begin in the middle of a line.". This patch allows comments in the middle of
 a line. Example: LogFile = /tmp/pacman.log#/var/log/pacman.log
