WHat are directives for?

I was poking around in tribal preferences and I saw the box that allows you to color code specific items. Reserved words, global and local vars, but I saw the directive, and was wonder what it is used for. Its the # symbol. I've looked online and wasn't really able to find anything specifically related to the t2 directives. Anyone know?

my best guess: the creator has that in their if you wanted to use the program for coding other things then T2 .cs files... (# sign is used in C/C++ for include files and defining pre-processor variables)

I wonder if T2 has a pre-processor... anyone know if this is true?

Tribes2 does not support the # directive.
However, the crew that wrote support.vl2 added a preprocessor of sorts that does read through the scripts and handle certain commented # directives, as an interface with certain aspects of support.vl2 and other scripts.
