I'm surprised nobody posted this.  Benny didn't ask about
a portable solution :-), so try this:

# define	STARTCOM	//**/*
# define	ENDCOM		*/**//

This is specifically disallowed by the dpANS, it is not available
everywhere, and it is definitely not something to use for any reason
other than curiosity.  This is intended as a curiosity only.
