I disagree; I'm glad comments don't nest.  If they did, every time I forgot a
'*/' it would eat up the entire rest of the program, as opposed to the current
situation where it only eats up until the next comment.  This makes it 
considerably easier to find the missing close-comment.  (Especially since I
have a program which can, among other things, point out embedded comments.)
