It's a lot more difficult to do the lexical analysis if the comment
introducer is more than 2 characters long, because if it turns out NOT
to be a comment you have to be able to "unget" what has been read and
re-lex it.  It's not impossible, but it's ugly; compare all the
messiness trying to determine whether $(( is introducing a math
expression vs. a command substitution starting with a subshell.

My intent is to introduce something similar to /* ... */, not an #if
... #endif equivalent.  For the latter (or poddish) we really would
have to introduce new here-document syntax, and just discard the
document instead of wordcoding it.
