I like the proposal made by Juergen, which (I think) modifies
the comment to be " -- [<text>] <eoln> ".

I don't think the standard needs to explicitly support directives.
These could be embedded in comments (like HTML). Conditional MIB
constructs would make MIBs hard to read, just like it makes C code
hard to read. Once you add #if/ifdef you need #define and #undef
to make them useful.
