"{!" is being incorrectly interpreted in HTML/XML comments (and perhaps string literals?)

[Scott Wells]

This was reported by a user in the public discussion groups here:

https://groups.google.com/a/illuminatedcloud.com/d/msgid/qanda/9a530954-ae77-42c7-aff2-eed3e3d4c5f6%40illuminatedcloud.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer

Basically a comment like the following breaks the parser:

<!-- Issue with expressions in comments "{! -->
<apex:page>
</apex:page>

Fix submitted for inclusion in the next build.

Delivered in 2.0.4.2 and 1.8.4.1.
