[enhancement] HTML/XML comment support for JSX

[pke]

Feature

Support XML <!-- --> comments in JSX

Current status

Currently the only way to insert comments into JSX flow is to wrap them in JS:

{/**/}

In context:

<Foo>
  {/* I will tell you why this component is here */}
  <Bar>
  </Bar>
</Foo>

Proposed extension

XML like comments.

<Foo>
  <!-- I will tell you why this component is here -->
  <Bar>
  </Bar>
</Foo>

This would also allow us to quickly temporarily comment out components in the JSX flow like this:

<Foo>
  <!--Bar>
  </Bar-->
</Foo>

Thanks for the proposal!
https://github.com/facebook/jsx would be the right place to discuss this.
There is an issue on this (facebook/jsx#7) so you can voice support there.
