I kinda like using /x to separate elements with whitespace even
if I'm not doing the full multi-line verbosely-commented spiel:
if ($query =~ m{ /\*\+ \s+ (.*?) \s+ \*/ }x) {
I find it easier to see what's a quantifier and what's a literal
when it's not all jammed together. :) But TMTOWTDI and YMMV.
