NPM should understand package.jsonc files (JSON with // and /* */ comment syntax).
-
I think the issue is that it’s difficult to programmatically modify such files.
I've written a JSON parser that retains comments, and when stringified emits comments in the same places. Not sure why nobody has released anything similar.

Tell me more about this! You store deserialized JSON objects in a map or something so you can retrieve trivia when they are re-serialized?
-
JSON parser tracks the current properties being parsed, when it encounters comments it assigns them to a map with the current key path. It's just a single map of object paths to comments. Then have a type-safe interface to consume the JSON, which has a `stringify` method.
