Most people include a little snack for the line eater and a cute little
signoff line. Since what I write are `comments', it seems appropriate
to include them in /**/. You will know I have switched to Pascal when
you see my messages enclosed in (* *) (and when hell freezes over)
(oops, better check with my censor at Princeton). Also, if the `/*'
is missing, you can assume my entire message didn't make it.
