I thought about it, what if you define, that the /+ +/ comment,
is not started by
'/+' alone but by '/+ ' that means that the char behind the plus
defines the ending of the comment.
So that /+my_special_block has to end with my_special_block+/
And '/+ ' with ' +/' where all whitespace characters should be
allowed (\newline \tab \space).
I know that this might be a somehow breaking change, but it would
not require a totally different kind of syntax.
And the mentioned URL-Strings lib++/ will not match for '/+ ' .
Would be interesting how often people write /+directly followed
by the comment, without a space or the same at the end+/
