Please describe.**\r\nSome use cases for the Sql*ScriptGenerator classes are actually for code \"pretty printing\" / formatting. However, using Sql150ScriptGenerator to re-generate the SQL text when provided with an input TSqlFragment, leads to comments (single-line and multi-line) both being excluded from the output.\r\n\r\n**Describe the solution you'd like**\r\nProvide an `PreserveComments` property in `SqlScriptGeneratorOptions` with the default being `true` in the 160 version, and `false` in the 150 or lower versions for backward compat.\r\n\r\n**Describe alternatives you've considered**\r\nToken re-writing: substituting a faux `print` statement instead of the comment token is a crude workaround. It fails in case the comment is a trailing suffix of a line within a multi-line T-SQL statement.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/arvindshmicrosoft","@type":"Person","name":"arvindshmicrosoft"},"datePublished":"2021-10-08T22:33:57.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":11},"url":"https://github.com/20/SqlScriptDOM/issues/20"}
