(it's a duplicate of #23)

The answer is generally "no" for reasons shown there, but you can put application-specific data in which serves the same purpose.

Ah, I searched for open issues that mention "comment" but didn't also search closed issues, thinking it would still be open if it hasn't been added yet.

Closing the issue as duplicating #23 and there is no plan to add comment support

I see jsonl as a m2m format, or a machine-to-human-familiar-with-unix-tools format :-) not in the realm of human-friendly formats like yaml (which I love)
