title: comments amongst parameters in BASH
body: <p>I want to include command-parameters-inline comments, e.g.:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sed -i.bak -r \
      # comment 1
      -e 'sed_commands' \
      # comment 2
      -e 'sed_commands' \
      # comment 3
      -e 'sed_commands' \
      /path/to/file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above code doesn't work. Is there a different way for embedding comments in the parameters line?</p>
