       Options can be supplied when the the object is created,

           $writer = XML::Grove::AsCanonXML->new( Comments => 1 );

       or modified at any time before writing an XML object by setting the option directly in the
       `$writer' hash.

       Comments
           By default comments are not written to the output.  Setting comment to TRUE will
           include comments in the output.
