for example the parser accepts ; comments, and I didn't look again but I guess the lexer has similar extension that breaks your expectations of the highlighting being a validator or similar.

Scintilla accepts ; as well, after all its the original comment in MS .ini files, not # these Unix come lately guys use ;-P

But leading spaces are orthogonal to ; / #, IIRC there are parsers that do what the parser here does, look at the first character of the line only, be it # or ; (or [).

As I said I don't care a lot so if an import of the parser from ctags changed its behaviour and the default Scintilla was made the same thats fine.

Anyway lets stop sidetracking @techee's excellent PR.
