I've switched the other way recently.  The problem with your example is that
it's a huge pain when you go to modify the comment and need to keep all
those extra *'s in sync.  Furthermore, if you're using an editor with syntax
highlighting, I don't find distinguishing comments and code to be even the
slightest bit of a problem.
