vim syntax highlighting picks these lines up as well. It must
parse them in order to find `.Ed', so I think the error correct.
The line can be escaped using `\&...' or replaced by an empty
line. Maybe wrapping them into a C comment would also be ok.
I don't see the point of obfuscating the source code snippet with
just the dots.
Cheers,
