  Please don’t actually do this. Comment stuff in the code and documentation, not the JSON.

    Don’t worry, I wouldn’t do things like this in JSON. Nevertheless, it can be very useful to have comments along with configuration values, for example to explain the actual values (not their purpose) and why they were chosen. That’s information you can’t add to the code which processes the values.
