Right, * is a comment marker, but should it be used?
"*" is great for creating boxes, to me the most readable way to
display comments.

The alternative "/*" and "*/" can also set off comments with boxes.
But if I introduce a space between the two symbols (or if an email
program does it), code will fail. "*" doesn't have this problem.
