Yeah.. like when I left a fullstop out in some Cobol. 
I was *sure* the compiler interpreter had a bug! 
Very frustrating, wasted a few hours. Happened in PL/1
too, with block comments "/*  comment */" . Lessons learnt.

A syntax checker would show the problem yes. For me, I'll stick with
beginning all comments with the standard two minus. 
My human scanner has no problem with that.
By all means add the block comments, its a change that can be adopted
or ignored as the individual sees fit. 
Thanks,
Alan
