Out of interest, is there any other language where the comment delimiter is invalid if immediately followed by a symbol?
Another quaint example, in shell scripts, lines starting with '#' are comments, except when the first line starts with '#!'. Admittedly, this is still a comment as far as the shell is concerned, it's the OS that is intercepting the comment's contents and acting on it. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
