FS#69 - #version fails to raise error

Scenes starting with the incorrect syntax

version 3.7;

do not raise an error, instead they render a black screen with an empty scene warning.
#version should fail with an error when the # is missing.

For backward compatibility reasons the # is not always enforced.

OK, but if you are just trying to let it have "version 1.0"
shouldn't it notice the semicolon in "version 3.7;"
and try to complete the statement?

Did early versions support semicolon delimited comments?

Semicolon support is always available as it does not interfere with backward compatibility.
