Flexible comment layouts #22

YW-Extract generally expects comments to occur on a single line of the script and to occupy that entire line. The exception is the @as alias comment that must occur on the same line as the @in/@out comment it qualifies. Users would like to be able to:

Include multiple YW comments on a single line to minimize the number of lines they occupy.
Put the @as comment on its own line following the line with the comment it qualifies.
Place YW comments on lines shared with code.

It'll make parsing a bit harder though, but I think that flexibility is useful.

If a semicolon (;) is used as the indicator of the ending of one YW comments, we can split the multiple YW comments on a single line using the (;).
