Is it, in Prolog acceptable to nest layers of /* .. */ ? It tend to be
that case which is hard to implement. Today, I see little need for
them. Most editors are fully capable of handling comment sections
spanning multiple lines with ease and the vicious idea of commenting
out code as a kind of revision control was luckily abolished with the
introduction of proper rev. control.
