I absolutely supposed the above to be true, and did not think I indicated 
otherwise in my original post. I understand there are design trade-offs in 
any type of decision such as this one.

Nevertheless, I am disappointed that I am unable to use al-comments as 
*true* comments. I'm not really able to comment on whether this behavior 
should be changed or not, as I do not understand all of the implications 
and consequences of the change, except that I'm sure it requires more 
processing and the code may be more difficult to write and therefore more 
prone to parsing errors.
