No. This is valid C:
/* comment /* more comment */
That seems like a rather trivial thing to be designing our language
around. And regarding principle of least surprise, the current /**/
behavior is only least-surprise for people who are already familiar
with that particular detail of /**/. From a fresher perspective, the
/++/ behavior is vastly less surprising.
I can understand the desire not to cause too much trouble for porting,
but sometimes I think D places far too much emphasis on that.
I'd be fine depricating /**/.
