I believe every data file format should also have a comment syntax, both line comments and inline comments.
TOML and YAML both support #, but two of the most common data formats, CSV and JSON don't. At least for CSV it is commonly accepted to consider # for CSV and // for JSON as comment, but we really need to standardize this for both these formats.
