note 71151 added to language.basic-syntax.comments

Re: //* This code is easy to turn into a comment. // */ I have been using this trick in my C++ and Java code for some time, but I use a slight variation, as follows: //*/ This code is easy to turn into a comment. //*/ You can write a single macro for the editor of your choice, to drop in a //*/ line of text. Such a line is completely inoccuous, other than bloating the code, until and unless the initial slash ('/') is deleted. By taking advantage of the fact that the same line can act to start or end a toggled block, or be totally ignored, you can drop these lines into your code anywhere at anytime, without worrying or knowing which text sequence - starting or ending - you need.
