Summary: Disable hints / auto-completion in comments

Initial Comment:
Hi Thomas,

I like these new features:

*function argument hinting in the console and script
editor 
* as you type completion of R symbol names in the
script editor 
* tab completion of R symbol names in the console

but can they be temporarily disabled when the user
types # or ## to start writing a comment? I think
having the popups when I am writing code comments is
more disturbing than helpful. Example: 

I <- diag(3) # making identity matrix

box pops up after "ma" in making, "id" in identity, and
"ma" in matrix giving all sorts of options that I am
not interested in when just writing comments.

Thanks,
Ben Goodrich (same email if you have questions)

Fix in development version.

I only disable symbol name completion, and only in the script editor. In
the console, completion has to be requested explicitely using Tab, so it
should not interfere. Function argument hinting only gets triggered by
existing function names followed by an opening brace, so in the vast
majority of cases, you really are trying to write a function call (even if
it is commented), then.

Leaving bug report open until the next version is released.
