I think I'm of the opinion that if the comments are important to 
maintain between reads/writes they don't belong in lua comments but 
instead as a comments field in the table data.

Well, its an easy solution at least :)

Same for the ordering of the tables, if thats ultra important then work 
it into the data.

A generic system to do what you want, probably comes under the heading 
of hard.
