Research direction

Start with the linked BPO issue 44325 and its five-message discussion; the payload names no files or tests, so locate IDLE's shell and comment handling before making changes. Done means the reported comment anomalies are corrected and covered by tests, with the expected behavior confirmed from the issue discussion.
