Personally, I prefer what C++ does using "/*", "*/" for long comments
and "\\", end-of-line for one liners. This makes it easier to comment
out code using "/*", "*/" if I only use "\\" comments inside them 
(thats a *big* IF though -- I would still probably use "#ifdef 0")

IMHO, Im not sure the issue is worth all the attention we seem to have
given it (some obviously disagree). Couldnt we let this topic die now?
(Am I the only one who feels this way?)
