Are there no tools for extracting comments from C++ code? If Erlang uses the
same comment syntax as in C++, then one should be abel to use those tools.

And what is the actual cost? Slightly altering the pre-processor?

When we're at it, why not convert to C++-style completely, issuing a warning
when % is used!
Seriously, I think we'll have to live with %...
