Q-> can you nest comments in var names?

[Russell A. Fink]

By rules of Kernighan and Ritchie, or standard adaptations of the
language, can I nest comments within variable names?
int number;
.
.
.
printf ("Value is %d", num/* this is obnoxious */ber);

Is that obnoxious comment permitted, or is it syntactically wrong?
Thanks in advance for response.
