please add support for comments in template parser

hey @localvoid 👋

i don't need the html comment in the final output, but currently i cannot compile a template that includes a temporary comment like this.

• <!...> will be parsed as comment.
• Expressions inside comments aren't supported.

heh, this kinda defeats the purpose of the original ask :)

is it not possible to support this by retaining any comment nodes containing expressions in the dom?

i guess this kinda works, though VSCode doesnt do this for me with Ctrl + / bindings (it adds an html comment node)

this is a pretty good QoL that JSX has (with Ctrl + / bindings):

It is possible to just ignore expressions in comments, I just overwhelmed with other tasks right now and don't have too much time to work on ivi. If you want to keep working on it, I can move it to a separate org on github and give you full access. I've migrated all projects that I currently maintain to a different UI library that is closed source right now.

sorry to hear that! thanks for working on it for this long :)

maybe, i'll see if i can make some progress in a fork first. but i also have full time job (React stuff) and family, so this is side project for me as well.
