Berkeley uses this particular atrocity to form the names of the routines
used to implement 4.1BSD "compatibility mode" under 4.2BSD.  The C compiler
is quite happy with the tokens formed in this way, but when lint is used
the comments do not get deleted by the preprocessor and lint gets severe
indigestion.
