It would be nice to view the comments in the terminal. Sometimes the comments have tips on how to get out-of-date PKGBUILDs to build. It would make my workflow a little nicer if I could do:

packer -Ss program
packer -S program
... oh noes it failed ...
packer --view-comments program
packer -G program
edit PKGBUILD
makepkg
sudo pacman -U package

Right now the "packer --view-comments program" is "open the AUR page in the browser and view a comment that tells me how to fix the broken package."

I guess if "packer --view-comments program" was simply "$BROWSER https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/$PACKAGE/?comments=all" that would be nice, but it would be even better if it just parsed and output the comments from JSON or whatever it is using in the terminal.
