Known Subclasses:
  - html.HtmlComment

All custom Comment classes must inherit from this one.

To create an XML Comment instance, use the `Comment()` factory.

Subclasses must not override __init__ or __new__ as it is absolutely undefined when these objects will be created or destroyed. All persistent state of Comments must be stored in the underlying XML. If you really need to initialize the object after creation, you can implement an `_init(self)` method that will be called after object creation.
