It sounds good, as long as it is clear this markers is for export
consumption only, and has no special effect when using the spreadsheet.

I suggest to use # or <#> instead of / so as to refer to "comment" (but
still use / as the marker for the first column).

The removal could be done in a function like
`org-export--delete-commented-rows' (see `org-export--delete-comments'
in "ox.el").

This would also require documenting it in the manual and providing
tests.

Does anyone feel like doing that?
