Description

Calling Netrc#save will overwrite ~/.netrc and remove comments. It would be great if comments were preserved.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the netrc file format to identify comment syntax (typically lines starting with '#'). Parse the original file to extract comments and preserve them when writing the new file in the save method.
