### Description
The following code:
```php
<?php
$sxe = simplexml_load_string(<<<XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<container>
<!-- comment -->
</container>
XML);
var_dump($sxe->xpath("//comment()"));
```
Resulted in this output:
```
array(0) {
}
```
But I expected this output instead:
```
array(1) {
[0] => the comment node
}
```
However, you can see the comment node with
var_dump($sxe):
```php
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (1) {
["comment"]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (0) {
}
}
```
So SimpleXML can handle it, kinda.
