Rows beginning with # quietly skipped #74

Hi,
Very useful package. Please consider setting the option comment.char="" by default in the function read_clip_tbl(). I just got bitten by this by copying a table from Excel, which I guess is a major use-case for this function, where the first column contained the value #N/A (Excel's standard NA value) which resulted in the whole line being ignored. I spent a very long time looking for the culprit before realising this.

clipr::read_clip_tbl("Header1\tHeader2\n#N/A\tVeryImportant\nR2C1\tR2C2")
#  Header1 Header2
#1    R2C1    R2C2


clipr::read_clip_tbl("Header1\tHeader2\n#N/A\tVeryImportant\nR2C1\tR2C2", comment.char="")
#  Header1       Header2
#1    #N/A VeryImportant
#2    R2C1          R2C2
