I'm trying to get to know the format of PDF and ReportLab better. The =
comments in the PDF file of the form :

% 'F1' '<reportlab.pdfbase.pdfdoc.PDFType1Font instance at'=20

are helpful for this purpose but otherwise a waste of space. The comment =
for the DoComments acknowledges this. However, DoComments=3D1 by =
default. Having it =3D0 by default might have saved me a few MB in the =
2GB of PDF documents I just generated for a project.

Could this / should this be changed for released versions of RL?
