pgindent has never been very kind to non-end-of-line comments, and
I'm not excited about working on making it do so. As a thought
experiment, what would happen if we reversed course and started
allowing "//" comments? Naive conversion of this comment could
break the code altogether. (Plenty of programming languages
don't even *have* non-end-of-line comments.)
I suspect not allowing // is at least a minor annoyance to any new developer we acquire under the age of about 40.
