If I understood you correctly: You mean an independent feature that i.e.
gets raw lines and parses the inline #comments.

Doing so we could indeed avoid the trouble of messing around with the
hba.c logic, and it would be accessible to other config files. Very
interesting thought! It sounds like a much more elegant solution.

If I hear no objections, I'll try to sketch it as you suggested.

Thanks again for the feedback
