Do pmc files get turned pretty directly into C code?

And if pmc files get turned pretty directly into C code, do the C++ style
comments stay in there? If yes and yes, then the patch won't be acceptable
as is. We need to use /* */ comments only, as // isn't valid in C89.
(apart from that I don't know enough about anything perl6 to know whether
this is a good idea, and if so whether this is the best way to implement the
idea. Someone else knowledgeable will have to comment)
