trim_quotes did not helped :D

Looks like a major limitation for kong (and pl.config)

@woledzki seems like this has been fixed in 0.10 by updating the penlight library to latest.

Doesn't look like a Penlight issue, but rather how we treated octothorpes (assuming all characters following one are comments). We can ammend this behavior by allowing escaped octothorpes in config directives (e.g. test\#123)
