See the Ada rationale.

In my text editor, writing Prolog, I can comment out
a region in one of two ways:

<visit beginning>               <visit beginning>
<mark>                          <mark>
<visit end>                     <visit end>
Meta-/                          Meta-%

It's the same number of keystrokes to get /**/ around
or % on every line.
