I didn't even know that comments were allowed. The wiki states it, yes, but
the class interface doesn't offer it.

How about a Settings.Comments As Collection property which can associate to
a (valid) key in the Settings a few lines to put before that item in the
settings file? This can be parsed correctly and later written to the file in
order again. One may even imagine that the empty key can receive a comment
which is put at the beginning of the comment file.
