Am I right in thinking that everything gets ignored until the closing --->?

I used to do this with my code-pertinent comments all the time when I was
building CFML so that hackers viewing my sourcecode couldn't figure out what
I was doing as easily.

Still, I agree, you definitely want to pay attention to how you use that.
