Do we have a (constant) definition of the delimiters to use or are they parameters to the stripping function? This is important because it leads to quite different solutions… –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 09:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 
Also, we don't have a definition of how (some) languages handle comments.
<br>For instance:
<br>say 66/*yuppers*/77
<br>in the REXX language, <tt> 6677 </tt> is displayed to the screen.
<br>Some languages assume the comments acts like white space. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 10:24, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
: same with
<pre>
say 66/* an enormous block comment
 
*/77
</pre>
: yet to be analyzed: can any /* ... */ sequence be REMOVED? --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 05:08, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
