It's abject hackery because such "comment" directives don't even necessarily have to be a comment to be active:

    const x = `This whole thing is
    a
    //go:generate worse-is-better
    multiline
    string literal`

A lot of people in this discussion are beating up Go for using syntactical comments for directives, but in reality the implementation is even less principled than that!
