It is a quine if we neglect the comments.
Interestingly, two of the comments are descriptive (answering "What"). The one asking whether this is a quine is in fact a type of communication widespread in code, when authors use comments for communication.

If one program is different from another in a way that no one can discern by looking at the output or runtime, is it actually different? Are comments part of the code per se? Does "don't interpret this text as commands" count as a command?
