Sergiy brought up the strangest thing. I never knew that // was
unreliable with ; as a delimiter. But try and run this:
* this works
#delimit ;
// comment
#delimit cr
* this does not
#delimit ;
//
// comment
//
#delimit cr
* neither does this
#delimit ;
// ;
// comment;
// ;
#delimit cr
* but this does
#delimit;
**********
* box *
**********
#delimit cr
So I guess there is one instance where * would be preferred to // as a
comment delimiter. Well, nevermind.
