no apostrophe allowed in comment

When the comment is inside of a substituted process.

#! /bin/bash -ex
#

tee >(
        # this is nifty
        echo hi there
)

The above works. Whereas the below fails.

#! /bin/bash -ex
#

tee >(
        # ain't this nifty
        echo hi there
)

It burps thusly:

./foo.sh: line 7: bad substitution: no closing `)' in >(
    # ain't this nifty
    echo hi there
)

Is bash trying to be like tcl here? ;-)
