Is this a bug?

[TerryRitchie]

DATA I eat cheese.
DATA I don't eat cheese.

Two perfectly valid DATA statements, each being a sentence.  If the remark signified a comment, the 2nd statement would end at I don

Do this:

DATA I don't eat cheese.: 'Now I can leave a comment after the colon.

See example 1: https://qb64phoenix.com/qb64wiki/index.php/DATA

Ok, the syntax error only happens with data lines that contain numeric values

READ a$
PRINT a$
READ n
PRINT n

DATA I don't each cheese
DATA 9 '  (nope)
DATA 9: ' (yep)

Thanks for the : tip though, that works with numeric values too. I missed that in the Wiki.
