And I thought the "--" comment was introduced to make work easier to
temporarily comment a line without having to add a "/*" at the
beginning, then going to the end of the line (or the next one) and add a
"*/".

At least one is saving typing one character now.

And typing "--" should be faster than typing "/*".
