plpgsql commenting broken?

От

After quite a few hours of poring over my latest plpgsql dabbling,  i found the error that caused import to barf, and I was a bit surprised, since the error was caused by a single apostrophe in a comment line
 
-- check if the row isn't available
[SQL thingie]
 
of course, i could avoid the problem by rewriting my comments to
 
-- check if the row is available
[SQL thingie]
 
but it seems to me, that commenting a line should cause the parser to ignore *everything* until the next newline?

Yes, this has bitten me before, particularly in awk script where the
script is single-quoted.  I don't know a good solution for this.
