I don't think D needs two inline comment forms, but /+...+/ is no less
ambiguous than /*...*/.  Don't forget about the unary '+' operator:

auto p = 1;
auto j = 100/+p;

(Also, "multi-line"?  I only use /*...*/ for inline comments that end
before the end of the line.  I use multiple instances of '//' if I want
a comment that extends beyond the end of a line.)
