That would work for me, but it's inconsistent with Mail::Address and I'd
really like to avoid having a behavior depending on libraries installed.
Plus, consistency with Mail::Address gives us consistency with any other
program using Mail::Address.

There's another one I considered:
4. Consider '#.*' as a comment when parsing trailers (but not in
other places where we parse addresses)
This is much harder to define properly because of
Cc: "Foo # Bar" <email@xxxxxxxxxxx>
=> we'd need to handle the ".*" syntax when stripping comments. And
again, that wouldn't be consistent with Mail::Address.
So, I ended up implementing 3., which actually isn't hard, and gives
code IMHO cleaner than it used to be.
