;Task:
Strip block comments from program text (of a programming language much like classic [[C]]).
Your demos should at least handle simple, non-nested and multi-line block comment delimiters.
The block comment delimiters are the two-character sequence:
:::* <big><big> '''/*''' </big></big> (beginning delimiter)
:::* <big><big> '''*/''' </big></big> (ending delimiter)
