Sorry. It has been a while since I studied this. The issue is the
dashes, not the block comments. /* --- is needed for multi-line comment
where you want to preserve the layout, but in other cases, it prevents
comment layout and looks kind of heavy. I eyeball each change to make
sure it is clean so:
/* --- * test * --- */
becomes the cleaner:
/* * test */
This makes the comment easier to read.
