In general R doesn't print the "comment" attribute of an object
> structure(1:3, comment=c("a comment", "another comment"))
[1] 1 2 3
but if the object is a call it prints it in an unusual format
> structure(quote(func(arg)), comment=c("a comment", "another comment"))
a comment
another comment
func(arg)
What is the rationale for the special treatment of calls?
