Although I agree that /* versus / * is a niggly problem, it is NOT
an ambiguity in the reference manual, which states (fairly early on)
that if the program has been parsed up to a certain point, then the
next token is considered to be the longest possible sequence which
could be a token.

(This also covers the +++ problem as well.)

			*++*argv rules OK,
