Hah! While we're on the subject, let me mention why I hate the use
block comments in implementations.
When you're debugging, and want to comment out a large block of code
at once, the presence of pre-existing block comments inhibits your
ability to do so (they confuse the compiler). Sure, you could just
throw an if (false) {} block around the section you wanted commented
out, but that's what block comments are for in the first place!!! Use
of line comments avoids this problem entirely. XEmacs M-q will take
one or more line comments and rejigger them into a list of neatly
formatted line comments in a single key stroke.
