This is inconsistent with every other trailer that includes comments.
Currently, there are two mechanisms to provide comments with trailers:

1:

    | Trailer-name: trailer-content # trailer-comment

2:

    | Trailer-name: trailer-content
    | [trailer-comment]

For the sake of consistency, all trailers, including Link, should use one of
these two mechanisms for "optional-other-stuff".
