That syntax can't work. It would have to be restricted so heavily in order to 
not break anything that it wouldn't work in places you'd normally expect 
comments to function.

Even that would have to be disabled in POSIX mode. I don't have a strong 
desire for this. A good editor should make normal comments painless enough.
