[O] Should comments break paragraphs?

[Kodi Arfer]

If you export

some text
# a comment
more text

then you get two paragraphs, not one. Is this intentional? The old 
export engine gave you one paragraph. I liked that behavior better, 
since it allowed me to insert notes in the middle of paragraphs. The 
manual still says "Paragraphs are separated by at least one empty line." 
On the other hand, it's probably a little cleaner to treat a comment 
just like a blank linke.
